This song I've been singing [G] I'll [C] now sing to you.
It's about Fable Island, [F] so [C] sad but so true. _
We were on our way to [F] the sword [C]-fishing ground,
[F] But the weather [C] was bad so [G] we swung [C] her around. _
Out in the [G] distance this land [C] could be seen,
Big banks of [F] sand and the grass [C] was so green.
It was Fable [F] Island that we [C] were sure,
[F] So we [C] launched a [G] dory and we all [C] went ashore.
And when we had [G] landed two men went [C] each way,
Some searching for [F] tires which [C] lay there they say,
And picking up [F] shells so clear to [C] be seen.
[F] While [C] out on her anchor [G] lay the [C] Georgian Polly,
_ _ [F] _
[C] _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _
Louie got an anvil [G] and Frank [C] got a tire, _ _
Sherman got [F] copper and [C] Breton got wire.
Oh, this is the [F] nicest spot [C] I've ever seen,
_ [F] Around [C] Fable [G] Island on the [C] Georgian Polly.
The ponies were plenty [G] but most [C] have died off,
From many hard [F] winters with [C] blizzards and frost.
The light-keeper [F] told us of [C] winters so fierce,
[F] The worst he [C] had [G] seen there in many [C] long years.
[F] _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ Then Vernon came [G] running with shovel [C] in hand,
Saying, look what I found [F] lying there in [C] the sand.
While Raymond was [F] busy baking [C] the beans,
_ [F] [C] Back in the galley [G] of the Georgian [C] Polly.
_ My song is now [G] ending, there's no more [C] to tell,
The season is over, [F] we all have [C] done well,
We left Fable [F] Island [C] once more to steam,
_ [F] On [C] our way home [G] on the [C] Georgian Polly.
_ [F] On [C] our way home [G] on the [C] Georgian Polly. _ _ _ _
