lyrics

Long time ago, my father say,
When every night was just the same
Sister moon would wax and wane
Down at the bay
Down at the bay
Down at Musselroe Bay

Then one time the strange man came
Took a fish to use for bait
Took a seal, its skin for sale

Many moons did pass away
Til strange man came in the light of day
With nets and traps which he did lay

With the morning sun’s new rays
He offered tea and flour for trade
He asked my mother’s hand to take

But then he took and he did not pay
Then he put our legs into chains
Then on the ground my brother lay

We blacked his house with the golden flame
We made the red flow from his veins
We took his life and took the blame
