Well gather round me hearties 
And you'll hear the tragic tale
Of the crew of the Bethune 
And of the schooner they did sail 

What awful fate befell

never done
Breakin’ my back at my old man’s house
Takin’ each harvest as it comes
Load the schooner and set sail south
With cane spirits for the Key West

fail
She's the last of the Leelanau schooners to ever set sail

Now they're bringing her home for the last time, they're well on their way
On the lumber

I've seen the last of brandy
And my schooner's had her day
No more to tease those cursed cutters
Dashing 'round the bay

My running days are over now

Haul away, haula away HO
It’s the Christmas Schooner bringing Christmas trees YO HO

Been looking for you all my life
You overturned my schooner
And you terrorized my wife
We won't be done here
