HALFWAY ROCK Halfway down the Cape Cod Bay There sits a rock where the Indians say An old man lives who knows the way Of the ocean and the sky. And they think it's wise a coin to throw To the Halfway Rock and the man below That calls the goodly wind to blow And makes the vessels fly. cho: Halfway Rock and we're bound for the better weather. Halfway Rock and we're bound to cross the sea. And once there was a man who came From Halifax, Big Jim by name Who laughed and said, "It's all a game," And he sat on Halfway Rock. He went to sea and there he drowned. The waves did drag his body down And tossed him up on the sandy ground Below the Halfway Rock. So come, all you lads, and list to me: Don't ever venture out to sea Without a copper penny tossed To the man at Halfway Rock. If there would be a stock in trade, A penny spent is a dollar made, A fair one, sure, if the penny's paid To the man at Halfway Rock. @myth filename[ HALFROCK WC Feb07  8note Sheet |
