Concerning Charlie Horse

Concerning Charlie horse Come all ye friends i'll sit ya down and sing an doleful ditty twas on a day in April month we started from the city we planned a day or two at most we stalwart men were chosen to remove ol' Charlie from Angle pond who fell in when the pond was frozen We seven men came roarin down on the road to Roach's line we might have stopped in Avondale or Brigus might have been fine we was hungry as sin but we never stopped in nor took any time to park us cause we all of us knew that we must get through to remove ol' charlie's carcus Chorus; Here's to Charlie horse and here's to shave the master no better horse here ran the course or pulled the logs more faster here's to Charlie horse and he wants ye all to know charlie's gone to the big corral, where all good horses go In the car there was old Pa Metcomb, and beside him Al was coastin' and Barret boudabile and jimmy marc in the backseat he was roastin there was Smiley stubborn on the mounted police it wasn't hard to find him and Johnny Pollock and Sage Bresain was sittin right in behind him Kevin and Buck was also there for they brought some braun and brains they was aimin to help as best the could to remove ol' chuck's remains Charlie was like a brother to shave and he loved him well of course Charlie was a very good man you see although he'd been a horse Chorus Now ill spare you all the gruesome details and just relate the end with two stout dories and a few strong ropes we removed old shavey's friend we gave him a decent sendoff with all our hats removed to off we send ol Shave and his friend our loyalty was proved Somewhere up in the great beyond his eyes are shining bright Charlie nods an approving nod cause he knows we did him right Shave will join him there one and he'll bring the harness leather and so unto all eternity they'll pull the logs together chorus
