C5 C5 A5 F5
Now it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
E5 E5 D5 G5
But watch the deadly waters glide, as we roll north to the Soo
C5 C5 A5 F5
And wonder when they'll turn again, and pitch us to the rail
E5 G5 C5 C5
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale
C5 C5 A5 F5
The kid was so damned eager, it was all so big and new
E5 E5 D5 G5
You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do
C5 C5 A5 F5
And evenings on the mess deck, he was always first to sing
E5 G5 C5 C5
And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring
CHORUS ONE (after verses 1, 3,):
G5 G5 F5 E5
But I told that kid a hundred times, don't take the lakes for granted
A5 E5 D5 G5
They'll go from calm to a hundred knots, so fast they seem en-chanted
C5 C5 A5 F5
But to-night some red-eyed Wiarton girl, lies staring at the wall
E5 G5 C5 C5
And her lover's gone in-to a white squall
C5 C5 A5 F5
Now it's a thing that us old-timers know, in a sultry summer calm
E5 E5 D5 G5
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb
C5 C5 A5 F5
And a sixteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
E5 G5 C5 C5
While the gale takes all before it with a scream
C5 C5 A5 F5
The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky
E5 E5 D5 G5
From where I stood, I swear I could, see tears fall from his eye
C5 C5 A5 F5
So I hadn't the heart to tell him , that he should be on a line
E5 G5 C5 C5
Even on a night so warm and fine
WHITE SQUALL PAGE TWO
C5 C5 A5 F5
When it struck, he sat up with a start, I roared to him: Get down
E5 E5 D5 G5
But for all that he could hear, I might as well not made a sound
C5 C5 A5 F5
So I clung there to the stanchions and I felt my face grow pale
E5 G5 C5 C5
As he crawled hand-over-hand along the rail
C5 C5 A5 F5
Now I could feel her heeling over with the fury of the blow
E5 E5 D5 F5
And I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow
C5 C5 A5 F5
Then like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright a-gain
E5 G5 C5 C5
While overside I heard him call my name
C5 C5 A5 F5
So it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
E5 E5 D5 G5
But watch the deadly waters glide, as we roll north to the Soo
C5 C5 A5 F5
And wonder when they'll turn again, and pitch us to the rail
E5 G5 C5 C5
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale
CHORUS TWO:
G5 G5 F5 E5
And I tell these kids a hundred times, don't take the lakes for granted
A5 E5 D5 G5
They'll go from calm to a hundred knots, so fast they seem en-chanted
C5 C5 A5 F5
But to-night some red-eyed Wiarton girl, lies staring at the wall
E5 G5 C5 C5
And her lover's gone into a white squall
