[00:12.936]In the melting snows of Ontario
[00:16.101]Where the wind'll make you shiver
[00:18.845]It was the month of May up in Georgian Bay
[00:21.836]Near the mouth of the Musquash River
[00:24.842]Where the bears prowl and the coyotes howl
[00:27.844]And you can hear the osprey scream
[00:32.343]Back in '99 we were cutting pine
[00:35.346]And sending it down the stream
[00:39.837]Young Sandy Gray came to Go Home Bay
[00:42.595]All the way from P.E.I.
[00:45.594]Where the weather's rough and it makes you tough
[00:48.833]No man's afraid to die
[00:51.586]Sandy came a smilin', Thirty Thousand Islands
[00:54.596]Was the place to claim his glory
[00:59.085]Now Sandy's gone but his name lives on
[01:02.086]This is Sandy's story
[01:06.345]Young Sandy Gray lives on today
[01:09.588]In the echoes of a mighty yell
[01:12.589]Listen close and you'll hear a ghost
[01:15.336]In this story that I tell, boys
[01:18.587]This story that I tell
[01:25.593]Now Sandy Gray was boss of the men who'd toss
[01:28.835]The trees onto the shore
[01:31.586]They'd come and go till they'd built a floe
[01:34.589]100, 000 logs or more
[01:37.590]And he'd ride 'em down toward Severn Sound
[01:40.588]To cut 'em up in the mills for timber
[01:44.840]And the ships would haul spring summer and fall
[01:48.084]Till the ice came in December
[01:52.345]One Sabbath Day big Sandy Gray
[01:55.337]Came into camp with a Peavey on his shoulder
[01:58.344]With a thunder crack he dropped his axe
[02:01.345]And the room got a little bit colder
[02:04.084]Said, "Come on all you, we got work to do
[02:07.092]We gotta give 'er all we can give 'er
[02:11.590]There's a jam of logs at the little jog
[02:14.834]Near the mouth of the Musquash River"
[02:19.093]With no time to pray on the Lord's day
[02:22.084]They were hoping for God's forgiveness
[02:25.079]But the jam was high in a troubled sky
[02:28.086]And they set out about their business
[02:30.841]They poked with poles and ran with the rolls
[02:34.093]And tried to stay on their feet
[02:38.581]Every trick they tried, one man cried
[02:41.589]This logjam's got us beat!"
[02:45.837]But Sandy Gray was not afraid
[02:49.083]And he let out a mighty yell
[02:51.844]"I'll be damned, we'll break this jam
[02:54.835]Or it's breakfast in hell, boys
[02:58.338]Breakfast in hell!"
[03:31.846]Now every one of the men did the work of ten
[03:34.841]And Sandy scrambled up to the top
[03:37.830]He is working like a dog heaving 30 foot logs
[03:40.833]And it looked like he'd never stop
[03:43.832]They struggled on, these men so strong
[03:46.832]Till the jam began to sway
[03:51.342]Then they dove for cover to the banks of the river
[03:54.326]All except for Sandy Gray
[03:58.580]Now with thoughts of death they held their breath
[04:01.588]As they saw their friend go down
[04:04.593]They all knew in a second or two
[04:07.340]He'd be crushed or frozen or drowned
[04:10.331]They saw him fall and they heard him call
[04:13.337]Just once and then it was over
[04:17.836]Young Sandy Gray gave his life that day
[04:20.827]Near the mouth of the Musquash River
[04:25.326]But Sandy Gray was not afraid
[04:28.337]And he let out a mighty yell
[04:31.579]"I'll be damned, we'll break this jam
[04:34.095]Or it's breakfast in hell, boys
[04:37.839]Breakfast in hell!"
[04:50.290]East of Giant's Tomb there's plenty of room
[04:53.829]There's no fences and no walls
[04:56.582]And if you listen close you'll hear a ghost
[04:59.581]Down by Sandy Gray Falls
[05:02.329]Through the tops of the trees you'll hear in the breeze
[05:05.594]The echoes of a mighty yell
[05:13.332]"I'll be damned, we'll break this jam
[05:15.833]Or it's breakfast in hell"
[05:20.333]And Sandy Gray lives on today
[05:23.330]And he let out a mighty yell
[05:26.331]"I'll be damned, we'll break this jam
[05:29.079]Or it's breakfast in hell, boys
[05:32.830]Breakfast in hell!"
