Lyrics
Mussels in the Corner
Chorus:
- 'Deed I is in love with you
- Up all night in the foggy dew
- 'Deed I is in love with you
- Mussels in the corner
- Ask a bayman for a smoke
- He will say my pipe is broke
- Ask a bayman for a chew
- He will bite it off for you
- (chorus)
- Dirty shirts and dirty ties
- Dirty rings around their eyes
- Can't get up the morning boys
- Dirty auld Torbaymen
- (chorus)
- Here they are as white as ghosts
- Baymen in their little boats
- Women in their petticoats
- Down in Petty Harbour
- (chorus)
- I took Liza to the ball
- Liza couldn't dance at all
- I beat her head against the wall
- Mussels in the corner
- (chorus)
- All the people in Belle Isle
- Don't get up till half past nine
- Wash their face in kerosene oil
- Polly, you're a corker!
- (chorus)
- Elsie Murray, she's so fine,
- Don't get up til half past nine
- Won't get up to feed the swine
- Dirty Elsie Murray.
- 'Deed I is in love with you
- Up all night in the foggy dew
- 'Deed I is in love with you
- Mussels in the corner
