THE GASTERS BAY LEMANT
By: Patrick F. Gushue July 1989
The Bye's, the bye's, me bye;
Comes here's I tell ye me bye;
of the bye's of Bacon Cove, Kitchuses
Conception Harbour, Avondale and
Harbour Main too.
They turned into Ironworkers, me bye;
Steelworkers of high steel with the
Mohawks, across the Yankee cities
they are the Fishgangs of high steel.
They turned into Carpenters, me bye;
Builders of the Yankee cities through
out the Boston States and known for
good workers of wood, me bye too.
They turned into Fisherman, Seafarers
and Shipbuilders from Georges Bank and
Browns Bank though more often than not
Sable Island and the Grand Bank too.
Gone from the villages of Gasters Bay
are the bye's, me bye, gone are the
bye's and the loss we all do feel
Cleveland, Boston, New York and
Philadelphia too, know them well
as Irish and Newfie's one in the
same, but gone are the bye's.
The bye's, me bye's, me bye;
Comes here's I tells ye me bye;
of the bye's of Bacon Cove, Kitchuese,
Conception Harbour, Avondale, and
Harbour Main too
