It was early in the [Dm] spring when I decided to [E] go,
For [Dm] to work up in the woods in [Am] North Ontario.
[F] And the unemployment officer, they sent me through,
To [Dm] the little lab, to be [Am] with the survey.
[Dm]
I'm the little black fly, [F] always the black fly,
No matter where I go, [Gm] I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North [F] Ontario, I oh, in [Dm] North Ontario.
[E] [F]
The man, Black Toby, was the captain of [Dm] the crew,
And he said, I'm gonna tell you boys [Am] what to do.
[F] They want to build a power dam, we must [Dm] find a way for to make the little [A] lab flow along the other way.
[Dm] With the black flies, the little black [F] flies, always the black fly,
No matter where you [Gm] go, I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North Ontario, [F] I oh, [Dm] in North Ontario.
[E]
[F] So we surveyed through the east, surveyed through the [Dm] west,
And we cooked petamides [Am] and powder to [F] infest the little lab, little lab.
And what shall I do, [Dm] when I'm all gone [A] crazy with the survey crew?
[Dm] And the black fly, little black [F] fly, always the black fly,
No matter where you [Gm] go, I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North Ontario, [F] I oh, [Dm] in North Ontario.
[E] [F]
It was black fly, black fly, everywhere, [Dm] a colony of [A] whiskers, a colony of hair,
[F] Swimming in the soup, swimming in the [Dm] tea,
They never get the black fly, let me be.
Black fly, little black [F] fly, always the black fly,
No matter [Gm] where you go, I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North [F] Ontario.

[C] [F] Black goby fellas swam, the work went slow,
[Dm] The state of our [Am] realm was again pretty [F] low,
And the flies were heavy, it was hard to catch your breath,
[Dm] And just stuck it up and [Am] down the throat, talking to yourself.
[Dm] Black flies, little black [F] flies, always the black fly,
No matter [Gm] where you go, I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North [F] Ontario, I oh, in [Dm] North Ontario.
[F]
Well, now, the bone cook's name was Blind River [Dm] Joe,
If it hadn't been for him, [A] we'd have never pulled [F] through,
Cause he bound up our boozers, and he kidded us for [Dm] fun,
And he lathered us with bacon [A] grease and balsam [Dm] gum,
For the black flies, the little black flies, [F] always the black fly,
No matter where [Gm] you go, I'll die with the black fly,
Flickin' my bones in North [F] Ontario, I oh, in [A] North [Dm] Ontario.
[F]
And [Bbm] at last the job was over, [F] Black Goby said,
And we were through, [Dm] with the little amitibi [Am] and the survey crew,
[F] It was a wonderful experience, and this I know,
[Dm] I'll never go again [Am] to North Ontario.
[Em] [Dm]
