[E] For everybody down in the Harbour Grace, Bay Roberts area—well, anywhere on the Rock, for that matter.
[G] [D] [G]
Here's the finish of the story [D] I think [G] that I should tell
About [D] the boys in Carminville who ended [G] up in jail.
They went out on a [C] caper as they went [G] to steal a calf,
And thought they fooled a [D] Mountie, but the [G] Mountie got the laugh.
[Em] [D] [G]
As I told you in the story, [D] the Mountie [G] joined right in.
He had a feet of mutton, [C] and [G] thanked them with a grin.
If I wasn't still on [C] duty, well, I'd [G] stay and have a beer,
For a finer bunch of boys I [D] know I'll never [G] find like here.
[E] [D] [G]
Now when he left, they thought that [D] they had seen the [G] last of he.
They didn't know [D] that a little [C] while back [G] to the house he'd be,
And that he wouldn't be [C] alone, a [G] friend would be with him.
And this time at the party, [D] well, he'd wear a [G] bigger grin.
[Em] [D] [G]
Now as they watched him drive away, they all began to boast,
To think they gave him mutton, and he thought it was a mince.
A Mountie from the [Am] mainland, they knew they [G] told him lies,
And drank a toast to the wool they pulled over his eyes.
[D] [G]
They were drinking and were talking [D] about the sheep that [G] they had took,
And about the songs and laughter they heard another knock.
They said, come in and join us, cause we're having quite a night.
But when the door [D] came open, oh, they got an awful pray.
[A] [D] [G]
In the door was St.
Anne Martha, [D] who'd come [G] to claim her sheep.
And the man who stood [A] beside [C] her, he had boots [G] upon his feet.
With stripes upon his [A] trousers, [Em] and a grin [G] upon his face,
The Mountie from the [D] mainland was a man from [G] Harbour Grace.
[A] [D] [G]
So now they wished the mutton [D] had come from [G] other means,
For now instead of mutton, they're eating pork and beans.
So if you see [Am] a man in on [G] his hat's a yellow band,
Don't think that you can fool him, [D] he might be from [G] Newfoundland.
[Em] [D] [G] [N]
