On the Baccalieu Trail (Lyrics)

This song is about how a feller' met a girl on a tour bus that was going around the Baccalieu Trail…It goes something like this….

We were walking round Brigus
That old English town
When my eyes met hers.
She nearly knocked me down.
I fell in love, on the Baccalieu Trail

We went over to Cupids
John Guy's plantation.
My heart skipped a beat.
There was no explanation.
I fell in love on the Baccalieu Trail

We drove through Clarke’s Beach
Then past North River
Down in Port de Grave.
I knew I had to be with her.
I found my girl on the Baccalieu Trail.

Now she was pretty as a picture of Bay Roberts.
When we left Harbour Grace
Peter Easton couldn’t stop us cause
We fell in love on the Baccalieu Trail.

We took a boat tour out to Carbonear Island.
On the beach in Northern Bay
I couldn’t stop smiling
Cause we fell in love on the Baccalieu Trail.

When we reached Bay de Verde
I had the right attitude.
Along the rocks at Crates Cove
She was getting in the mood.
Yes, I found my girl on the Baccalieu Trail

Now we had to head down around the Trinity Bay side and things were starting to steam up if you know what I mean.

I had my arms around her
Under the Willow Tree.
All through Heart's Delight she was kissing me.
Now my Heart's Content on the Baccalieu Trail

We were holding hands in Cavendish
At the Shag Rock
I was getting my wish
Cause I found my girl on the Baccalieu Trail

In Dildo I knew she was the love I never had
At Whitbourne she asked me to meet her Mom and Dad
And we fell in love on the Baccalieu Trail.
That’s how I found my girl on the Baccalieu Trail.
That’s how we fell in love on the Baccalieu Trail.
I hope you fall in love somewhere on the Baccalieu Trail.

Agh, come on down to the Baccalieu Trail, we got everything you need
Come out around the Bay.
Check out the Baccalieu Trail.
