[D] My dad was a [G] fisherman, made his living on [D] the sea, put food on the table for the family and me.
He commanded his [G] boat, FLB 101, with a crew of Isle of [D] Mortoy, she made [D] her last run.
I remember the [G] year like it was [D] yesterday, dad asked me to join him on the voyage across the bay.
As a young lad of [G] thirteen I was privileged to go, unaware of the perils in our bunks [D] down below.
Dad took the first [G] watch and at midnight [D] smelled smoke, he shouted to his crewmen who abruptly awoke.
The engine room was on [G] fire, burning out of control, all hands to the lifeboat and God [D] save our soul.
The [G] sea was flat, [D] calm, moon and stars shining bright, a vessel approached through the darkest [A] of night.
[D] The wind now increasing, [G] the dory started to rock, the crew sat there wishing they were tied [D] to the dock.
[A] [D] A navy vessel appeared [G] in the [D] waters nearby, her searchlights turned [C] on, all the men gave [D] a sigh.
They were rescued that night [G] from a [D] watery grave, God must have been [A] watching cause all hands were [D] saved.
I watched as our vessel [G] went down [D] to the sea, with a cargo of [C] fish the men had [D] to flee.
Our boat was late and [G] had [D] halifax on the scroll, where the men would split the [A] earnings when the fish it [D] was sold.
The fire on board [G] the FLV [D] 101 destroyed the vessel [C] and took away all [D] their fun.
To return back to port with [G] no money [D] to show, broke the heart of these [A] fishermen with their head hanging [D] low.
The Canadian [G] navy ship Terra Nova and her crew of paid men helped survivors get back to their loved ones [A] again.
To [D] reunite with their families [G] and [D] all of their friends, they all got home safe [A] to go fishing [D] again.

[D] This tragedy in my mind will never go away, it's so clear in my mind as if it was yesterday.
Although a young lad of just thirteen years [G] old, I remember that night and I can [D] still feel the cold.
It's a hard experience for just a young lad, but I just had to go with the captain, my dad.
We may have lost our vessel and the cargo within, [G] but thanks to God and my dad we all [D] lived to fish again.
[G] The sea was flat, calm, moon [D] and stars shining bright, a vessel approached through the [A] darkest of night.
We [D] may have lost our vessel and the cargo within, [G] but thanks to God and my dad we all [D] lived to fish again.
