[00:15.955]A silent forty-two years
[00:18.970]Nestled in the heart of Nova Scotia
[00:22.076]Marooned in Digby's Sandy Cove
[00:25.043]A legless man was found unconscious on the shore
[00:28.008]When he later awoke in the home of a local fisherman
[00:34.277]He obsessively muttered the same three words over and over again
[00:55.126]The first was Jerome
[01:01.572]He repeated it so much so that it was decided it must be his name
[01:07.696]Colombo was the second
[01:10.398]Perhaps the name of the ship that abandoned him
[01:14.754]The mutiny he attempted to lead left him stranded
[01:26.955]Cast off into the vast unknown
[01:29.956]After a ruthless Captain inflicted his harsh naval judgment
[01:35.994]By hacking off both of his legs just above the knee
[01:43.759]The final word was Trieste
[01:46.740]Was this the land that he dreamed of
[01:49.717]As he screamed and moaned throughout his nights
[01:52.619]Conceivably it was visions of loved ones severed and distorted
[01:58.716]That motivated him to remain mute
[02:18.409]Apart from these three words the man was soundless
[02:24.924]He moved slowly during his enduring years
[02:35.544]By scuffling forward on his hands and stumps
[02:38.576]Canada's first melancholic welfare recipient
[02:41.637]Died on April 12th 1912
[03:45.151]Broken fragments of his past have emerged
[03:48.557]But the truth was never unveiled
[03:51.364]A stone marker is all that's left now
[03:54.412]As a memory of this nation's amputated enigma
