Intro: I was born in Cape Breton Born by the sea By the Seal Island bridge In sweet Boularderie An by age seventeen There was nothing for me So I headed for Thorold Washed up on the beach An I slept in the Jungle Lived hard, took a fall 'Til I found myself standing At the SIU hall And with nothing to stay for No kids and no wife I signed on that morning For the rest of my life My back it was strong And that strength never failed Up the Detroit River On the Ferndale I sailed And now I am married To the woman I love She's a gift I was given From Heaven above And I call every morning And I call every night She's all I ever wanted The love of my life And now in the evening When we talk on the phone She says I love you Daddy When you coming back home Tonight down the line I heard my boy say Daddy I miss you More every day But when I hear your voice Then I feel alright He says I love you Daddy Good luck and good night And now in the evening When we talk on the phone He says I love you Daddy When you coming back home I was born in Cape Breton Born by the sea By the Seal Island bridge In sweet Boularderie
