You can pass your days in the dory, boys
Bb F F7
You can go with the worst and the best
Bb F
But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys
C F
Each trip you go could well be your last
[Verse]
C F F7
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, me boys?
Bb F
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
Bb F
The crazy old drunk was a loser, boys
C F F7
He never cared if we never made in
[Chorus]
Bb F
And it's, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Bb F
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
Bb F
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
C F
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
[Verse]
C F F7
Oh, don't you remember the Shoals, boys?
Bb F
Don't you remember the Shoals?

And the Old Man asleep at the wheel, boys
C
By god, it was black and cold
[Chorus]
Bb F
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Bb F
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
Bb F
You'll never catch me on the trawl again

Well, the mate was the man with the gall, boys
Bb F
He got the Old Man away from the wheel
Bb F
And he took him below, and he locked up the hatch
C
And he threw all the booze o'er the rail
[Chorus]
Bb F
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Bb F
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
Bb F
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
C F
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
