“O, I’m the bone of a Parley Yoo
That settled in Minas Bay,
That dammed the marshes, and cleared the woods,
And called the place Grand Pré.
“And the grain it riz, and the settlement growed,
And werry content were we,
With our cattle and pigs, and bosses and gigs,
And beautiful scenerie.
“And there it was nothing but Nong-tong-paw,
Et cetera, from morning to night,
