E5   B5  E5                             B5
Well we're good old boys; we come from the North Shore
A5              E5              B5
Drinkers and carousers, the likes you've never seen
           E5    B5  E5                                  B5
And this night, by God! We'll drink 'til there is no more
          A5              E5          B5             E5    
From The Trawler to The Raven with all stops in between

 E5                                     B5
It all began one afternoon, on the shores of Ambleside
                                                    E5
We were sitting there quite peacefully, with the rising of the tide
                                      B5           A5
When an idea it came to mind, for to usher in the fall
 B5                                      E5
So we agreed next Friday night, we'd go out on the crawl
Chorus
We planned to have a gay old time, the cash we did not spare
We left all the cars at home, and paid the taxi fare
I got out to Horseshoe Bay, a little after five
From a table in the corner, I heard familiar voices rise
Chorus
Both spirits they ran high that night, old stories we did share
Of the days when we were younger men, and never had a care
And the beer flowed like a river, and we drank the keg near dry
So we drained down all of our glasses, and we were thirsty by-and-by
Chorus
Park Royal Hotel, the Rusty Gull, Square Rigger and Queen's Cross
We started off with eight good boys, but half had gotten lost
And you'll never keep the lads together, when their eyes begin to rove
And there was just the three of us that made it to Deep Cove
Chorus
We arrived out at The Raven, just in time for the last call
The final destination of this the first annual crawl
We dug deep into our pockets; there was no money to be found, hah
Nine miles home and for walking we are bound
Chorus
