Burgeo Belle

Burgeo Belle

Burgeo Belle <br /> <br /> A single visit was all that it took<br /> To Burgeo town and I was on the hook<br /> The first day there I met a sweet lass<br /> While attending there at St. Stephens' mass<br /> <br /> Her eyes they sparkled like a green gem<br /> I knew right then I was stricken by them<br /> Her hair it fell In long tresses to her waist<br /> Oh boy she was one who tickled my taste<br /> <br /> Her slender form was so appealing to me<br /> Her coy sideways glance so inviting to see<br /> I saw right there in her fair full grace<br /> My future hopes and dreams to trace<br /> <br /> If something was ever to stimulate my taste<br /> It certainly was visions of her adoring embrace<br /> It left a mark on me that's for sure<br /> That I will hold with me for evermore<br /> <br /> The next day I was off and back to sea<br /> As my trawler the &acirc;€œFoam&acirc;€ was waiting for me<br /> The crew were all envious of my encounter<br /> And none of my claims were they able to counter.<br /> <br /> Oh my lovely Belle of Burgeo<br /> I will return some day<br /> And we will away to some far away isle<br /> Where I can forever hold on to your smile. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
