David Francey - Ballad Of Bowser Macrae lyrics

Your rating:

One of the most interesting people I have met on my 

travels, Greg (Bowser) MacRae was the third mate on the 

MV Algoville. 



(June 4, 2005. MV Algoville, Lake Superior) 



I was born in Cape Breton

Born by the sea

By the Seal Island bridge

In sweet Boularderie

But by age seventeen

There was nothing for me

So I headed for Thorold 

Washed up on the beach



I slept in the Jungle

Lived hard, took a fall

'Til I found myself standing

At the SIU hall

And with nothing to stay for

No kids and no wife

I signed on that morning 

For the rest of my life



My back it was strong

And that strength never failed

Up the Detroit River

On the Ferndale I sailed



And now I am married

To the woman I love

She's a gift I was given 

From Heaven above

And I call every morning

And I call every night

She's all I ever wanted

The love of my life



Tonight down the line

I heard my boy say

Daddy I miss you

More every day

But when I hear your voice

Then I feel alright

I love you Daddy

Good luck and good night



And now in the evening

When we talk on the phone

He says I love you Daddy

When you coming back home



I was born in Cape Breton

Born by the sea 

By the Seal Island bridge

In sweet Boularderie
