Uncle [G]Emile, he's
gone now nearly ten days
He tole his [C]wife's
he's gone for the [G]fishing
But in the waters off St. Pierre
and Miquelon Isles
The [C]fish come in bottles of [Am]gold
If [G]the Anne-Marie floats floats
and the Mounties stay blind
He'll be [C]back before the moon is [Bm]rising
With a [C]very fine catch all [G]safe in the hold
Thirty [C]cases of Trinidad [G]light
For [C]Acadian [D]Saturday [G]night.[F]

[G]Emmeline Comeau works
the general store
[C]Papa says she's good for

She's go eyes like fire

Her [C]mother close behind like a [Bm]dragon

[G]Granpa says it was better in his day
The [C]Mounties stayed
away from the [G]parties
And he didn't mind a fight when
the spirits got high
(You[C]could always
throw them out in the [Am]snow)
And the [G]rum was better
and it came in bigger bottles
And the [C]revenue cutters were [Bm]slow -
Still, [C]the old Anne-Marie has has
[G]wings on the water
And there's [C]nothing like Trinidad [G]light[C][D][G]
