A storm began as they set sail
    D7                  F     G
The waves swelled high around them
    Am                     C
The winds were strong, the journey long
     D7           F    E
They landed in Newfoundland

They anchored down beside a mill
    D7             F      G
And met a girl who worked there
    Am              C
She said to one, "I know you well
    D7               F  E
For once you were my lover"

"The ring you bought in Nantes for me
    D7                F  G
And promised we would marry
  Am           C
I waited for a year or more
    D7              F  E
Why so long did you tarry?"

                       C
"I was, they said, too poor to wed
    D7              F   G
And could no longer see you
    Am              C
One day, three martolod, we fled
    D7               F  E
The storm it blew us to you"

"Your destiny is here with me
    D7               F    G
Our love will always feed us
      Am                  C
We'll live like birds, so wild and free
    D7            F    E
Wherever life may lead us"
