In the melting of Ontario Where the wind'll make you It was the of May up in Georgian Bay Near the of the Musquash River
Where the prowl and the coyotes howl And you can hear the osprey Back in '99 we cutting pine And it down the stream
Young Gray came to Go Home Bay All the way P.E.I. the weather's rough and it makes you tough No afraid to die
came a smilin', Thirty Thousand Islands Was the to claim his glory Now Sandy's gone but his lives on This is story
Young Sandy lives on today In the echoes of a mighty Listen and you'll hear a ghost In this story that I tell, This story that I
Now Sandy Gray was of the men who'd toss The trees onto the They'd and go till they'd built a floe 100,000 logs or
And he'd ride 'em down toward Sound To cut 'em up in the for timber And the ships would spring summer and fall Till the ice came in
One Day big Sandy Gray Came camp with a Peavey on his shoulder a thunder crack he dropped his axe And the room got a bit colder
Said, "Come on all you, we got to do We gotta 'er all we can give 'er There's a jam of at the little jog the mouth of the Musquash River"
With no to pray on the Lord's day They were hoping for God's But the jam was in a troubled sky And they set out about business
They poked with and ran with the rolls And tried to on their feet trick they tried, one man cried This got us beat!"
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a yell "I'll be damned, break this jam Or breakfast in hell, boys in hell!"
Now one of the men did the work of ten And scrambled up to the top He is like a dog heaving 30 foot logs And it looked he'd never stop
They struggled on, these men so Till the jam to sway Then they dove for cover to the banks of the All except for Gray
Now with thoughts of they held their breath As they saw their friend go They all knew in a or two He'd be crushed or or drowned
saw him fall and they heard him call Just and then it was over Sandy Gray gave his life that day Near the mouth of the Musquash
But Sandy was not afraid And he let out a mighty "I'll be damned, we'll this jam Or breakfast in hell, boys in hell!"
East of Giant's Tomb plenty of room There's no and no walls And if you listen you'll hear a ghost by Sandy Gray Falls
Through the tops of the you'll hear in the breeze The of a mighty yell "I'll be damned, we'll this jam Or it's in hell"
And Sandy Gray lives on And he let out a yell "I'll be damned, break this jam Or it's in hell, boys in hell!"
