Alba s touto skladbou:
The Hard & The Easy,
As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by
A girl on the beach I chanced to espy
Her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue
And her place of abode was in Harbour LeCou
Well boldly I asked her to walk on the strand
She smiled like an angel and held out her hand
So I buttoned me guernsey and hove 'way me chew
In the dark rolling water of Harbour Le Cou
My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide
As I walked along with the maid at my side
I told her I loved her, I said I'd be true
And I winked at the moon over Harbour LeCou
As we walked on the shore at the close of the day
I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay
I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew
I was courting a lassie in Harbour LeCou
As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore
I met an old shipmate I'd sailed with before
He treated me kindly, saying "Jack, how are you?
It's seldom I see you in Harbour LeCou."
And I was parting this maiden in tow
He broke up my party with one single blow
Saying "Regards to your Mrs, and your wee kiddies too
I remember her well, she's from Harbour LeCou."
Well I looked at this damsel a-standing longside
Her jaw it had dropped and her mouth opened wide
And then like a she-cat apon me she flew
And I fled from the furies of Harbour LeCou
So come all ye young sailors who walk on the shore
Beware of old shipmates you've sailed with before
Beware of the maiden in the bonnet of blue
And the pretty young damsels of Harbour LeCou
