Oh, this is the place
 -4    4   6   -6  6   6   5
Where the fish-er-men gath-er
 4   -5    6   -5    5
With oil-skins and boots
 6   5    -4   5    6    -6
And Cape Anns bat-tened down
-7   7  7  7   7   -7
All siz-es of fig-ures
 -6    6    -6    6   6   5
With squid lines and jig-gers
 4    4   5   6    6
They con-gre-gate here
-5  5   -4    4  -3     4
On the squid-jig-gin’ ground
