In the melting of Ontario Where the wind'll you shiver It was the month of May up in Bay Near the mouth of the Musquash
Where the prowl and the coyotes howl And you can hear the scream Back in '99 we were pine And it down the stream
Young Sandy came to Go Home Bay All the way P.E.I. Where the weather's rough and it makes you No afraid to die
came a smilin', Thirty Thousand Islands Was the place to claim his Now Sandy's gone but his name on This is Sandy's
Young Sandy Gray on today In the echoes of a yell Listen close and you'll hear a In this story I tell, boys story that I tell
Now Gray was boss of the men who'd toss The trees the shore They'd and go till they'd built a floe 100,000 logs or
And he'd ride 'em down Severn Sound To cut 'em up in the for timber And the would haul spring summer and fall the ice came in December
One Sabbath Day big Sandy Came into camp with a Peavey on his With a thunder crack he his axe And the room got a 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 of the Musquash River"
With no time to pray on the day They hoping for God's forgiveness But the jam was in a troubled sky And set out about their business
They poked with poles and ran with the And to stay on their feet Every trick tried, one man cried logjam's got us beat!"
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a yell "I'll be damned, we'll break jam Or it's breakfast in hell, in hell!"
Now every one of the men did the of ten And Sandy up to the top He is working like a dog heaving 30 logs And it looked he'd never stop
They on, these men so strong the jam began to sway Then they dove for to the banks of the river All for Sandy Gray
Now with thoughts of they held their breath As saw their friend go down all knew in a second or two He'd be or frozen or drowned
saw him fall and they heard him call Just once and then it was Young Sandy Gray gave his that day Near the of the Musquash River
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a yell "I'll be damned, we'll this jam Or it's breakfast in hell, in hell!"
East of Tomb there's plenty of room no fences and no walls And if you listen close you'll a ghost Down by Sandy Falls
the tops of the trees you'll hear in the breeze The echoes of a mighty "I'll be damned, break this jam Or it's in hell"
And Sandy lives on today And he let out a mighty "I'll be damned, break this jam Or breakfast in hell, boys in hell!"
