[Verse 1]
D G D
In the mid-1960s, the news rang out clear,
G D Em A
Pack your bags and your nets, you must get out of here;
D G D
Take your picks and your shovels, your rakes and your hoes,
G D Em A
The government says you must pack up and go.
[Verse 2]
D G D
Well, the news it soon spread to the harbours and coves,
G D Em A
That the young crowd were leaving in hordes and in droves;
D G D
For to go to Toronto to follow their goals,
G D Em A
Or to go to Placentia to live on the dole.
[Chorus]
D G D
And it's out from St Leonard's and out from Toslow,
G D Em A
They'd steam 'cross the bay with their houses in tow;
D G D
With their beds in the bow and their stoves in the stern,
G D G D
Bound away with their sons and their daughters.
[Verse 3]
D G D
Now, Skipper Jim Pittman he said he wouldn't go,
G D Em A
While there's nets to be mended and hay to be mowed;
D G D
He said he'd never work, no matter the pay,
G D Em A
In some hockey stick factory out Stephenville way.
[Chorus]
D G D
And it's out from St Leonard's and out from Toslow,
G D Em A
They'd steam 'cross the bay with their houses in tow;
D G D
With their beds in the bow and their stoves in the stern,
G D G D
Bound away with their sons and their daughters.
[Verse 4]
D G D
Now, on all politicians they cursed and they swore,
G D Em A
They rather would fight off in some distant war;
D G D
For when they ceased to ramble and they ceased to roam,
G D Em A
They'd like to return to a place they called home.
[Chorus]
D G D
And it's out from St Leonard's and out from Toslow,
G D Em A
They'd steam 'cross the bay with their houses in tow;
D G D
With their beds in the bow and their stoves in the stern,
G D G D
Bound away with their sons and their daughters.
[Verse 5]
D G D
Now the islands and harbours and coves are ghost towns,
G D Em A
You need a longliner to harvest the ground;
D G D
And a big oil refinery now stands as a shrine,
G D Em A
To the daughters and sons who remember the time.
[Chorus]
D G D
And it's out from St Leonard's and out from Toslow,
G D Em A
They'd steam 'cross the bay with their houses in tow;
D G D
With their beds in the bow and their stoves in the stern,
G D G D
Bound away with their sons and their daughters.
[Chorus]
D G D
And it's out from St Leonard's and out from Toslow,

They'd steam 'cross the bay with their houses in tow;
D G D
With their beds in the bow and their stoves in the stern,
G D G D
Bound away with their sons and their daughters.
