Come all ye young ladies wherever you may be
If you're in Exploits Harbour and short of "Bacey"
Go to the Breakwater and "Luxury"
you'll get
And along little farther you'll find "Lucky
Hit".
If Lucky Hit
do not suit you, Mount Bernard
is there,
Step up to the next door you'll find Turcett
Square;
Now go a bit farther, on the shelf you will get
Good smoking tobacco, its called Farmers
Pit.
South Town
Lives in Gull Island Cove, her name is Paul,
Coming up you'll get Sterling,
if for it you will call,
Step off on the main road that leads to the town
You will find Little Sambo,
its sold by the pound.
We all sell Tobacco, we do not sell rum
The best of our smoking we call it Old
Chum
Big Base
it is cheaper, by the surgery its found,
If you want Old Virginia,
go to Downtons old ground.
Move on a bit farther you'll find Mickey
Doo
And up to the big house, there's Crescent
to chew,
Now go to the next door and get lost in the dark,
They will send you still farther to buy Duke
of York.
Go down to Green Cove, and Walrus
you'll find
Done up in big sticks in the shape of Lid
Twine,
Come past down by Lacey's just under the hill
You will find Lady Twist
if she's living there still.
Now across the Big harbour to Butts Cove you'll go
Near the Government wharf, you will find some Old
Crow.
Your'e sure to meet Maxim
in on the long road,
That leads to the Cove where you'll find Something
Good.
Fiona
and Feenix
they live on the point
If you want to smoke that get a crooked stem pipe.
Go into the kitchen and there you will see,
Stuck up in the corner is Home Rule
and TB.
Then ye young ladies, be civil awhile
Be pleased with your names and don't ever get wild.
We have you all named, or as far as we see
If you want the composer, he' gone up a tree.
Chorus between each verse as follows---
In the Barrel, Two sticks for a Barrel.
All the names of the tobacco in this poem, were names given to some
of the
popular women, of presumably--Exploits & vicinity.
