You can pass your days in the dory, boys

        Bb                        F    F7
You can go with the worst and the best

    Bb                       F
But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys

                       C            F
Each trip you go could well be your last

Don't you remember Cape Ann?

The crazy old drunk was a loser, boys

He never cared if we never made in

And it's, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?

You'll never catch me on the trawl again

For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
[Verse]

Don't you remember the Shoals?

And the Old Man asleep at the wheel, boys

                         C
By god, it was black and cold
[Chorus]

Well, the mate was the man with the gall, boys

           Bb                    F
He got the Old Man away from the wheel

       Bb                     F
And he took him below, and he locked up the hatch

                                    C
And he threw all the booze o'er the rail
[Chorus]
    Bb                      F
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
