In the melting snows of Where the make you shiver It was the month of May up in Bay the mouth of the Musquash River
Where the bears and the coyotes howl And you can the osprey scream Back in '99 we were cutting And sending it down the
Sandy Gray came to Go Home Bay All the way P.E.I. Where the rough and it makes you tough No man's to die
Sandy came a smilin', Thirty Thousand Was the place to claim his Now gone but his name lives on is Sandy's story
Young Sandy Gray on today In the of a mighty yell Listen close and you'll a ghost In this story that I tell, This that I tell
Now Sandy Gray was boss of the men toss The trees the shore They'd come and go till they'd built a 100,000 logs or
And he'd ride 'em down toward Severn To cut 'em up in the for timber And the ships would haul spring and fall the ice came in December
One Day big Sandy Gray into camp with a Peavey on his shoulder With a thunder he dropped his axe And the got a little bit colder
Said, "Come on all you, we got to do We give 'er all we can give 'er a jam of logs at the little jog Near the mouth of the River"
With no time to pray on the day They were for God's forgiveness But the jam was in a troubled sky And set out about their business
They poked with poles and ran the rolls And tried to stay on their Every they tried, one man cried logjam's got us beat!"
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a mighty "I'll be damned, we'll this jam Or it's in hell, boys in hell!"
Now one of the men did the work of ten And Sandy up to the top He is working a dog heaving 30 foot logs And it looked he'd never stop
They struggled on, these men so Till the jam to sway they dove for cover to the banks of the river All for Sandy Gray
Now with thoughts of they held their breath As they saw friend go down They all in a second or two He'd be crushed or frozen or
They saw him fall and they him call once and then it was over Young Sandy Gray his life that day Near the of the Musquash River
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a mighty "I'll be damned, break this jam Or breakfast in hell, boys in hell!"
East of Tomb there's plenty of room There's no fences and no And if you listen close you'll a ghost Down by Gray Falls
Through the tops of the you'll hear in the breeze The echoes of a mighty "I'll be damned, we'll break jam Or breakfast in hell"
And Sandy Gray on today And he let out a yell "I'll be damned, break this jam Or breakfast in hell, boys in hell!"
