G D G G* D
Well, we're good old boys, we come from the North Shore,
C G D
Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen;
G D G G* D
And this night, by God! We drank till there was no more,
C G D G
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between.
G D
Well it all began one afternoon on the shores of Ambleside,
G
We were sittin' there quite peacefully with the rising of the tide;
D
When an idea it came to mind for to usher in the Fall,
C G
So we all agreed next Friday night we'd go out on the crawl.
G D G G* D
Well, we're good old boys, we come from the North Shore,
C G D
Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen;
G D G G* D
And this night, by God! We drank till there was no more,
C G D G
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between.
G D
We planned to have a gay old time, the cash we did not spare,
G
We left all the cars at home and paid the taxi fare;
D
I got out to Horseshoe Bay a little after five,
C G
From a table in the corner I heard familiar voices rise.

Well, we're good old boys, we come from the North Shore,

Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen;
G D G G* D
And this night, by God! We drank till there was no more,
C G D G
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between.
G D
The spirits they ran high that night, old stories we did share,
G
Of the days when we were younger men and never had a care;
D
The beer flowed like a river and we drank the keg near dry,
C G
So we drained down all our glasses and were thirsty by-and-by.
G D G G* D
Well, we're good old boys, we come from the North Shore,

And this night, by God! We drank till there was no more,
C G D G
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between.
G D
Park Royal Hotel, The Rusty Gull, Square-Rigger and Queen's Cross,
G
We'd started out with eight good boys but half had gotten lost;
D
For you'll never keep the lads together when their eyes begin to rove,
C G
So there was just the three of us that made it to Deep Cove.
G D G G* D
Well, we're good old boys, we come from the North Shore,
C G D
Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen;
G D G G* D
And this night, by God! We drank till there was no more,
C G D G
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between.
G D
We arrived out at The Raven just in time for the last call,
G
The final destination of this the first annual crawl;
G D
We dug deep into our pockets there was no money to be found,
C G
Nine miles home and for walking we are bound.
