wee dark engine room
(g) c g7 c g / g c f g7 c / c g7 c f c g c g / c f c f c
in that wee dark engine room,
where the chill seeps through your soul,
how we huddled round that wee pot stove
that burned oily rags and coal.
c f c g7 g /
how the winter blizzards blow, and the whaling fleet’s at rest,
tucked in leigh harbor’s sheltered bay, safely anch-r-d ten abreast.
the whalers at their stations, as from she’d to she’d they go,
carry little bags of coal with them, and a little iron stove.
chorus
the fireman paddy worked with me on the engine stiff and cold.
a stranger to the truth was he – there’s not a lie he hasn’t told.
and he boasted of his gold mine, and of all the hearts he’d won,
and his bonny sense of humor shone just like a ray of sun.
chorus
then one day we saw the sun and factory ships’ return.
meet your old friends, sing a song; hope the season won’t be long,
then homeward bound when it’s over; we’ll leave this icy hold,
but i always will remember that little iron stove.
chorus
