Just let my 7 year old son listen to a playlist of Stan Rogers.... and he wonders why we dont listen to it more or why did i wait so long to let him hear it! Gives me hope for the future.
"My Sally's like a raven's wing, her hair is like her mother's. With hands that make quick work of a chore, and eyes like the top of a stove." What an image painted in so few words.
We most certainly are, and forever will be. We are the wind to his sails and Like the Mary Ellen Carter. He will rise again and sail through the decades riding upon the music he’s left.
We just lost sight of the Queensport light down the bay before us And the wind has blown some cold today with just a wee touch of snow Along the shore from Lazy Head hard abeam Half Island Tonight we'll let the anchor go down in Fogarty's Cove My Sally's like the ravens wing her hair is like her mothers' With hands that make quick work of a chore and eyes like the top of a stove Come suppertime she'll walk the beach wrapped in my old duffle With her eyes upon the masthead reach down in Fogarty's Cove She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the comber's roll in 'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove She will walk the sandy shore again watch the comber's roll in 'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove She cries when I'm away to sea nags me when I'm with her She'd rather I'd a Government job or maybe go on the dole. But I love her wave as I pull about, nose into the channel My Sally keeps the supper and a bed for me down in Fogarty's Cove She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the comber's roll in 'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove She will walk the sandy shore again watch the comber's roll in 'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove
See Black Point - Fogarty's Cove Quarry Environmental Concerns FB page which explains the dire circumstances around the locality cutting a deal with a granite mining company. The owners land was expropriated for pittance. It is an environment, political, social and moral disaster. It is urgent to share this song and the link to the FB page to block the outrageous deal. This is one of my favorite parts of the Maritimes.
Stan rogers was a sir and a legend of foke music he was 34 when his soul went to heaven to young by brother plays every song stan sang he play acoustic guitar and his wife plays the drum that fits in your handhe the king of foke music heA1 miss you stan march 31 2021
For me its the idiot and tiny fish for japan. Im a cullinary man. And sushi is my current trade, so it always feels too perfect lol. Ps. RUclips had to make me confirm that i wanted to post this, because of the word idiot. Stans the lucky one, he doesnt have to watch civilization crumble...
HEY!, HBO!, there's a sci-fi, historical fiction series with strong hetero / homosexual romance called "Nantucket" waiting to be brought to screen!..wait, what's that? D&D think they have an Emmy under their belts?...>:(
You're referring to S. M. Stirling's Nantucket trilogy? Television has been made from worse material. At least there is an ending so if they do have D&D write it, they don't have to make a Michael Bay style half-assed wrap up.
Avril Forest seriously you don't know what your talking about I'm in the 8th generation of the fogarty family and you have no idea how much this land meant to is
How would a person from Newfoundland pronounce Fogarty's cove? With a long or short "o" sound? As is Fog-arty's, or Foe-garty's. Thank you to any Newfoundlander who can tell me!
John Wigle this picture was taken in the late 70's aboard the tall ship Gazela in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I wasn't there but you can read about it in garnet rogers book night drive

Artifex Indeed!
Indeed! 🙂💕
Love Stan Rogers. That luscious voice gives me the shivers. The quintessential Canadian singer!
Stan I hope you are in a good place. And that those listening to you are having as much enjoyment as I am listening here on earth.

My first song of 2021. Stan still has it.
Best songwriter ever
A true national treasure.
Definitely a national treasure. Like the Canadian Woody Guthrie. Historic. Much loved in America.
@@crlchs 4 years later and this still holds up
We just lost sight of the Queensport light down the bay before us
And the wind has blown some cold today with just a wee touch of snow
Along the shore from Lazy Head hard abeam Half Island
Tonight we'll let the anchor go down in Fogarty's Cove
My Sally's like the ravens wing her hair is like her mothers'
With hands that make quick work of a chore and eyes like the top of a stove
Come suppertime she'll walk the beach wrapped in my old duffle
With her eyes upon the masthead reach down in Fogarty's Cove
She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the comber's roll in
'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove
She will walk the sandy shore again watch the comber's roll in
'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove
She cries when I'm away to sea nags me when I'm with her
She'd rather I'd a Government job or maybe go on the dole.
But I love her wave as I pull about, nose into the channel
My Sally keeps the supper and a bed for me down in Fogarty's Cove
She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the comber's roll in
'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove
She will walk the sandy shore again watch the comber's roll in
'Till I come to Wild Rose Chance again down in Fogarty's Cove

Joe Svoboda that can’t fuck up the ending because it already has been pr-fucked
I thought the words were "down WITH Fogartys Cove." GO QUARRY!!!!!!

Sean Fogarty we're family. I'm also a Fogarty - born in Halifax.

Depends really on what part of the rock you live on but we Pronounce it foe-garty's because that's the way it's spilled! Hahaha
foe-garty :)
Janey Song i calls it foe-Gartys cove because that's how most Newfoundlanders call it unless you're from St. John's ;)
Where is this photo from? It's awesome
