Alberta Provincial Regatta Calgary 1965, Singsong
Howdy, Howdy, Howdy Friends and Neighbors
Howdy, Howdy, Howdy friends and neighbors,
Won't you step up and shake my hand.
We are just a bunch of sailors down from Edmonton way.
We came down here to beat you on your Chestermere Bay.
Well, Howdy, Howdy, Howdy friends and neighbors,
Won't you step up and shake my hand.
How about a whiskey?
Step up and shake my hand,
Without your shoes on
Step up and shake my hand.
Calgary Yacht Club Here We Come
Calgary Yacht Club here we come,
Hallelujah.
We're the gang from Edmonton,
Hallelujah.
Linder rowed that boat ashore,
Hallelujah.
He won't sail that boat no more,
Hallelujah.
Chestermere is not so wide,
Hallelujah.
All the boats sailed side by side,
Hallelujah.
Stevens sails on Chestermere,
Hallelujah.
With Alvey's wife and a case of beer,
Hallelujah.
Edmonton sailors please take heed,
Hallelujah.
Chestermere is is full of weeds,
Hallelujah.
Lowney sailed a lousy race,
Hallelujah.
He didn't finish and he didn't place,
Hallelujah.
We're sure glad that we could come,
Hallelujah.
We always have so darn much fun,
Hallelujah.
M.T.A.
Let me tell you a story of a man named Alvey,
On a tragic and fateful day.
He hoisted his sails -- put his spinnaker in his pocket,
And went out on Chester Bay.
CHORUS:
Did he ever return?
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may sail forever
By the shores of Chester
He's the man who never returned.
Wilson handed in his quarter
To the Yacht Club porter,
In exchange for a bottle of beer.
He started in a thinkin'
That he oughta be a stinkin'
Just to sail on Chestermere.
(CHORUS)
Lee's wife goes down to the Yacht Club jetty
Every day at a quarter plus two
And from the open yardarm
She swings Alfie a sandwich
As his Y goes charging through.
(CHORUS)
Now you members of Calgary,
Don't you think it's a scandal
How we always have to pay and pay.
Ain't it time for a free beer?
Vote for Calgary's Pil's'ner
And we'll be on our way.
We'll never return,
No we'll never return
And our skill you'll never learn.
We're the gang from Wabamun
And our boats are a bobbin
Let's crack that keg of beer.
Roll Out That Barrel
Roll Out That Barrel,
We'll have a barrel of fun.
Roll out that barrel,
We've got you cowboys on the run.
Zing Boom Terrara, sing out
A song of a good cheer --
Now's the time to roll that barrel,
ED-MON-TON is here!
