And these seeds of misfortune, St. Bartholemew's Day,

shall be drowned in the new world chosen St Brendan's way.

EmThere's a light Gshining down Bmon you toAnight. EmA siren call, Ga harbour town, Aa

northern light.

Verse 3

A curse on the Union Jack, on it's empire and lance.

And I'll piss on the troubled head of King Charles in France.

But that's all behind us now, a thousand miles away.

And nothing can match the beauty in the sight of Gaspé.

Chorus

 And it's BmhopAe.G..

Verse 4

There's salt on your naked skin and there's salt in my tears,

and without you I'd pass away under these privateers.

But that baby inside you is the work of our hand,

a child of the revolution and a free thinking man.

Chorus

 And it's BmlovAe.G..
