WE'LL AND WE'LL ROAR
My name it is Robert, call me Bob Pittman;
I sail in the Ino with Tim Brown.
l'm to have Dolly or Biddy or Molly
As soon as l'm able to the cash down.

We'll rant and we'll roar true Newfoundlanders,
We'Il rant and we'll on deck and below
Until we see bottom the two sunkers,
When straight through the to Toslow we'll go.
l'm a son of a sea-cook, and a in a trader;
I can dance, I can sing, I can the main-boom;
I can a jigger, and cuts a big figure
Whenever I gets in a boat's room.

If the is good, then this fall I will do it;
I wants two ten for a ring and the priest,
A o' dollars for clean shirt and collars,
And a o' coppers to make up a feast.

There's plump Polly, her name is Goldsworthy,
There's John Coady's Kitty, and Mary
There's from Bruley, and young Martha Foley,
But the of all is my girl in Toslow.

Farewell and to ye fair ones of VaIen,
Farewell and adieu to ye girls in the
I'm to the westward, to the wall with the hole in,
I'II take her from Toslow the wild to rove.

Farewell and adieu to ye of St. Kyran's,
Of Paradise and Presque, Big and Bona,
l'm bound unto to marry sweet Biddy,
And if I do so, I'm afraid of her da.

I've me a house from Katherine Davis,
A twenty-pound bed Jimmy MeGrath;
I'll get me a settle, a pot and a
Then be ready for Biddy - hurrah!

O, I in the Ino this spring from the city,
Some rings and gold for the girls in the Bay;
I bought me a case-pipe - they call it a -
It melted like butter a hot day.

I went to a one night at Fox Harbour,
were plenty of girls, so nice as you'd wish;
There was one pretty maiden of frankgum
Just like a young a-gnawing fresh fish.

Then is a heaIth to the girls of Fox Harbour,
Of Oderin and Presque, Hole and Bruley.
Now let ye be jolly, be melancholy,
I can't all, or in chokey I'd be.

(from Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs, Fowkes)
This rollicking tale of a fisherman's love affairs is a
offshoot of the widely known English capstan shanty
'Spanish Ladies', which the headlands sighted in a homeward
voyage through the English Channel. Pacific later re-made it
to tcll of the Talcahuano Girls, with a chorus: 'We'll and we'll
roar true Huasco whalermen,'and Australian drovers sang their
farewell to the Brisbane Ladies. The Newfoundland version has
veses 2, 8, 9 and 10 from the whalers' the remaining verses
Bob Pittman and his courtship were composed around 1875 by W. H.
LeMessurier who was of the Evening Herald and later deputy
minister of customs in St John's. James Murphy it in Old Songs
of Newfoundland in 1912; it appeared in all the booklets; and
Mrs. heard it from Mr LeMessurier himself, and also from Tom
White of Sandy Cove, whose had acquired some variations.
Paradise, Oderin, Presque, Brule and St are tiny fishing
along the west coast of Placentia Bay.
