HILLS OF ISLE AU HAUT (Gordon Bok) Away and to the westward Is a place a man should go Where the fishing's always easy They've got no ice or snow But I'll haul down the sail Where the bays come together Bide away the days On the hills of Isle au Haut Now the Plymouth girls are fine They put their hearts in your hand And the Plymouth boys are able First-class sailors every man Now, the trouble with old Martin You don't try her in a trawler For those bay of Biscay swells They roll your head from off your shoulder Away and to the westward Is a place a man should go Where the fishing's always easy They've got no ice or snow Now the winters drive you crazy And the fishing's hard and slow You're a damned fool if you stay But there's no better place to go Isle au Haut is an island off Maine Bok wrote two song about Isle au Haut see also ISLEHAUT Copyright Folk-Legacy Records, Inc. @sailor @work @water filename[ IHAUTHIL SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
