Lock Me Through

(Song by: Elsa Hay  –  Performance Notes below)

LYRICS

I’ve been at sea for many a month
I’ve come home to port
My fishing boat needs repair
And there is a gal I long to court

CHORUS
Lock me through, Oh won’t you please, Lock me through
Lock me through, Oh won’t you please, Lock me through

I am paddling out to the sound
Going for the day
My friends and I have a lunch
And we will explore Elliot Bay

Chorus

Salmon run a 21-run ladder
Sea lions they come and get a lot fatter
It is not like the old Black River
When the runs turned the water silver

Chorus
