Verse 1
G
C
Well, I told you all a story
G
about Aunt Martha's sheep
Well, here's another story
C
in my memory I will keep
So pull your chairs up close, boys,
G
and listen to my tale
I'll sing to you a ballad
C
of me and Brother Bill
T 'was early in the month of June
D
beneath the summer sky
G
We started on our journey
C
with a rod and reel and fly
Bill was an alcoholic
G
so lots of booze he took
And very soon we were fishin'
C
knee -deep in a brook
Now the birds were singin' sweetly
G
D
G
and the water runnin' wild
The salmon they were jumpin'
C
in that good ol' Newfie style
Bill would cast his line out
G
and in his pocket reach
And while he waited for a bite,
C
would have a drink of screech
Now Bill got in a happy mood
G
D
G
as more and more he drank
Until he saw a warden
C
up on the riverbank
His face did turn all colors
G
and he said, my God, I'm caught
My liquor I remembered,
C
but the license I forgot
Now Bill, he had no money,
G
so it's fine, I'd have to pay
Well then I took it on me
C
to see he got away
I dropped my rod and reel,
G
started runnin' for the shore
And when I reached the bushes,
C
A
D
I was runnin' all the more
Now down a winding trail
A
with the warden in the chase
I ran about a mile
D
and fell flat upon my face
The warden, he jumped on me,
A
and this to me did say
You're runnin' from the law, boy,
D
so now you're gonna pay
His eyes they shone like diamonds
A
and he opened up his mouth
I reached into my pocket
D
and my li cense I pulled out
I did not break the law,
A
sir, my record is clean
The man without a license,
D
well, he left back in the stream
So have yourself a smoke,
A
sir, it don't matter anyhow
I do not know his name
D
and I'm sure he's gone by now
T 'was there I took a vow
A
that I would never tell
The warden, he would never know
D
it was my brother Bill
Now Bill, he's sittin' home
A
and the salmon's in the pan
He's sittin' at the table
D
with a big drink in his hand
He's laughing and wondering
A
if the warden got me yet
But I tell you boys, when I get home
D
I break his bloody neck
A
Yes, I tell you boys, when I get home
D
I break his bloody neck
