Dogtown (狗镇) (LP版) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Up in Massachusetts[00:00:09]

There's a little spit of land[00:00:12]

The men who make the maps[00:00:16]

Yes they call the place Cape Ann[00:00:20]

The men who do the fishing[00:00:25]

Call it Gloucester Harbor Sound[00:00:28]

But the women left behind[00:00:32]

They call the place Dogtown[00:00:36]

The men go out for whaling[00:00:42]

Past the breakers and the fogs[00:00:46]

The women stay home waiting[00:00:50]

They're protected by the dogs[00:00:54]

A tough old whaler woman[00:00:58]

Who had seen three husbands drown[00:01:01]

Polled the population[00:01:05]

And she named the place Dogtown[00:01:09]

There's all these grey faced women[00:01:14]

In their black widow's gowns[00:01:18]

Living in this graveyard granite town[00:01:22]

Yeah you soon learn there's many[00:01:29]

More than one way to drown[00:01:33]

That's while going to the dogs[00:01:36]

Here in Dogtown[00:01:40]

And she speaks[00:01:46]

My father was a merchant[00:01:48]

All in the Boston fief[00:01:52]

When my husband came[00:01:55]

And asked him for my hand[00:01:57]

But little did I know then[00:02:03]

That a Gloucester whaler's wife[00:02:07]

Marries but the sea salt[00:02:11]

And the sand[00:02:14]

He took me up to Dogtown[00:02:18]

The day I was a bride[00:02:22]

We had ten days together[00:02:25]

Before he left my side[00:02:29]

He's the first mate of a whaling ship[00:02:33]

The keeper of the log[00:02:36]

He said farewell my darling[00:02:40]

I'm going to leave you[00:02:43]

With my dog[00:02:47]

And I have seen the splintered timbers[00:02:54]

Of a hundred shattered hulls[00:02:58]

Known the silence of the granite[00:03:02]

And the screeching of the gulls[00:03:05]

I've heard that crazy widow Cather[00:03:09]

Walk the harbor as she raves[00:03:12]

At the endless rolling whisper of the waves[00:03:17]

Sitting by the fireside[00:03:39]

The embers slowly die[00:03:42]

Is it a sign of weakness[00:03:47]

When a woman wants to cry[00:03:51]

The dog is closely watching[00:03:56]

The fire glints in his eye[00:04:00]

No use to go to sleep this early[00:04:06]

No use to even try[00:04:10]

My blood beats like a woman's[00:04:21]

I've got a woman's breast and thighs[00:04:26]

But where am I to offer them[00:04:32]

To the ocean or the skies[00:04:36]

Living with this silent dog[00:04:43]

All the moments of my life[00:04:47]

He has been my only husband[00:04:54]

Am I a widow or his wife[00:04:59]

Yes it's a Dogtown and it's a fog town[00:05:10]

And there's nothing around 'cept the sea pounding granite ground[00:05:17]

And this black midnight horror of a hound[00:05:26]

I'm standing on this craggy cliff[00:05:43]

My eyes fixed on the sea[00:05:48]

Six months past when his ship was due[00:05:51]

I'm a widow to be[00:05:55]

For liking this half living with the lonely and the fog[00:05:59]

You need the bastard of the mating of a woman and a dog[00:06:07]

And I have seen the splintered timbers of a hundred shattered hulls[00:06:24]

Known the silence of the granite and the screeching of the gulls[00:06:31]

I've heard that crazy widow Cather walk the harbor as she raves[00:06:38]

At the endless rolling whisper of the waves[00:06:46]

At the endless rolling whisper of the waves[00:06:53]

At the endless rolling whisper of the waves[00:07:01]
