Ghost of Ontario
A hundred whales a year at the peak of his career
And in between ten thousand fish
Each week she would appear at the Straight Street pier
Where every able sailor got his wish
There was plenty half again - Captain Cathcart loved his gin
He gave a daily ration to the crew
He danced a blinding jig each time they hit it big
When the lookout would sound thar she blew
And the skipper would give chase as they heaved to the race
In the eye of the beast every man saw his face
Well the Ghost of Ontario sailed into the night
All the way from Nantucket to Saint John
How he ever found the way into Saint George's Bay
Harpoon and a live one hangin' on
And she dragged 'em all the way to Cape Breton
In town there was a rumor of a whale that dragged a schooner
Halfway back to Ireland in a tick
It was Halloween night but Captain wouldn't bite
He could tell she were no Moby d___
When they gaffed her in the side they were in for a ride
Straight off the Bay of Rocks with no place to hide
Well the Ghost of Ontario sailed into the night

All the way from Nantucket to Saint John
How he ever found the way into Saint George's Bay
Harpoon and a live one hangin' on
And she dragged 'em all the way to Cape Breton
I was clingin' to the wreckage, just a few of us were left
The lucky ones among us were better off dead
I swear I heard her creakin' in the wind from the west
But we never saw it comin' up ahead
They say he roams the seas just lookin' for a fight
His ship was lost a thousand miles from land
He haunts Coffin House for liquor every night
with a telescope and a pistol in hand
No tide that came his way could ever drown that man's thirst
No hurricanes or icebergs could lift that mighty curse
Well the Ghost of Ontario sailed into the night
All the way from Nantucket to Saint John
How he ever found the way into Saint George's Bay
Harpoon and a live one hangin' on
And she dragged 'em all the way to Cape Breton
