Breakfast in Hell (Live) - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]

Written by：Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]

In the melting snows of Ontario[00:00:20]

Where the wind'll make you shiver[00:00:22]

It was the month of May up in Georgian Bay[00:00:25]

Near the mouth of the Musquash River[00:00:27]

Where the bears prowl and the coyotes howl[00:00:30]

And you can hear the osprey scream[00:00:33]

Back in '99 we were cutting pine[00:00:37]

And sending it down the stream[00:00:40]

Young Sandy Gray came to Go Home Bay[00:00:44]

All the way from P.E.I.[00:00:46]

Where the weather's rough and it makes you tough[00:00:49]

No man's afraid to die[00:00:52]

Sandy came a smilin' Thirty Thousand Islands[00:00:55]

Was the place to claim his glory[00:00:58]

Now Sandy's gone but his name lives on[00:01:02]

This is Sandy's story[00:01:05]

Young Sandy Gray lives on today[00:01:09]

In the echoes of a mighty yell[00:01:12]

Listen close and you'll hear a ghost[00:01:15]

In this story that I tell boys[00:01:17]

This story that I tell[00:01:20]

Now Sandy Gray was boss of the men who'd toss[00:01:27]

The trees onto the shore[00:01:30]

They'd come and go till they'd built a floe[00:01:32]

100000 logs or more[00:01:35]

And he'd ride 'em down toward Severn Sound[00:01:38]

To cut 'em up in the mills for timber[00:01:40]

And the ships would haul spring summer and fall[00:01:44]

Till the ice came in December[00:01:47]

One Sabbath Day big Sandy Gray[00:01:51]

Came into camp with a Peavey on his shoulder[00:01:54]

With a thunder crack he dropped his axe[00:01:56]

And the room got a little bit colder[00:01:59]

Said come on all you we got work to do[00:02:02]

We gotta give 'er all we can give 'er[00:02:05]

There's a jam of logs at the little jog[00:02:09]

Near the mouth of the Musquash River[00:02:12]

With no time to pray on the Lord's day[00:02:16]

They were hoping for God's forgiveness[00:02:19]

But the jam was high in a troubled sky[00:02:21]

And they set out about their business[00:02:24]

They poked with poles and ran with the rolls[00:02:27]

And tried to stay on their feet[00:02:30]

Every trick they tried one man cried[00:02:33]

This logjam's got us beat[00:02:37]

But Sandy Gray was not afraid[00:02:41]

And he let out a mighty yell[00:02:44]

I'll be damned we'll break this jam[00:02:47]

Or it's breakfast in hell boys[00:02:49]

Breakfast in hell[00:02:53]

Now every one of the men did the work of ten[00:04:54]

And Sandy scrambled up to the top[00:04:57]

He is working like a dog heaving 30 foot logs[00:04:59]

And it looked like he'd never stop[00:05:02]

They struggled on these men so strong[00:05:05]

Till the jam began to sway[00:05:07]

Then they dove for cover to the banks of the river[00:05:12]

All except for Sandy Gray[00:05:14]

Now with thoughts of death they held their breath[00:05:24]

As they saw their friend go down[00:05:26]

They all knew in a second or two[00:05:30]

He'd be crushed or frozen or drowned[00:05:32]

They saw him fall and they heard him call[00:05:35]

Just once and then it was over[00:05:37]

Young Sandy Gray gave his life that day[00:05:42]

Near the mouth of the Musquash River[00:05:44]

But Sandy Gray was not afraid[00:05:49]

And he let out a mighty yell[00:05:51]

I'll be damned we'll break this jam[00:05:54]

Or it's breakfast in hell boys[00:05:57]

Breakfast in hell[00:06:01]

East of Giant's Tomb there's plenty of room[00:06:13]

There's no fences and no walls[00:06:16]

And if you listen close you'll hear a ghost[00:06:18]

Down by Sandy Gray Falls[00:06:21]

Through the tops of the trees you'll hear in the breeze[00:06:24]

The echoes of a mighty yell[00:06:27]

I'll be damned we'll break this jam[00:06:39]

Or it's breakfast in hell[00:06:41]

And Sandy Gray lives on today[00:06:45]

And he let out a mighty yell[00:06:48]

I'll be damned we'll break this jam[00:06:51]

Or it's breakfast in hell boys[00:06:54]

Breakfast in hell[00:06:58]
