[Verse 1]
C
Oh! The Crinan Canal for me,
Am C
I don't like the wild raging sea,
F C A
It would be too terrific to cross the Pacific,
D
Or sail to Japan or Fiji.
G C
A life on the Spanish Main,
Am C
I think would drive me insane,
F C
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
F C
The Crinan Canal for me.
[Chorus]
C
The Crinan Canal for me,
Am C
I don't like the wild raging sea,
F C
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
F G C
The Crinan Canal for me.
[Verse 2]
C
It's the Crinan Canal for me,
Am C
From sea terrors there you are free,
F C
There's no shark or whale that would make you turn pale,
A D
Or shiver or shake at the knee.
C G C
I would nae like leavin' ma bones,
Am C
In a locker beside Davy Jones,
F C
From Ardrishaig to Crinan's the best trip A'hve bin in,
G C
The Crinan Canal for me.
[Chorus]

The Crinan Canal for me,

[Verse 3]
C
Aye the Crinan Canal for me,
It's neither too big nor too wee,
F C
Oh! It's lovely and calm when you're frying your ham,
A D G
Or makin' a nice cup of tea.
C
You can go for a stroll on its banks,
Am C
To loosen your muscle bound shanks,
F C
You can darn your socks while you're still in its locks,
F C
The Crinan Canal for me.
[Chorus]
C
The Crinan Canal for me,
Am C
I don't like the wild raging sea,
F C
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
F G C
The Crinan Canal for me.
