Song Title: Savage Cop in Savage Cove
                                               Album: Soiree

                                                 composer: A.Frank Willis

1:  On the 29 of August in nineteen ninety eight

There was a beautiful wedding, & it was time to celebrate

relatives and friends were there, on that special day

it was Holy matrimony, in the old Traditional way

 

2: The church bells were ringing as the horns began to blow

a reception was awaiting, just a little down the road

the bride and groom they said I do, as a limo waited there

the people cheered, as the guns, were fired in the air

chorus

The savage cop in savage cove was constable McGraw

waiting in his cruiser for someone to break the law

He was like a Barney Fife & he couldn’t understand

why he couldn’t find a criminal, down in Newfoundland

 

3: He heard the guns a firing as he woke up from his sleep

He was so excited that he lifted off his seat

the siren was a blaring cuz  he thought it was a crime

when he found it was a wedding, he completely lost his mind

 

4: He grabbed the men, who fired the guns & threw them in the car

and told the bridal party, you’re not gonna get too farrr

then he stopped the father-in-law & smashed his window out

solo in G

5: He arrested all the dogs and cats and threw them in the pound

He threw them in together, and they were heard in  Marystown

the bride and groom was next to have the cuffs put on their wrist

He threw them with Grandpa who was  ninty-six

chorus 2

The savage cop in savage cove, he was out of control

breaking up a wedding, and running them off the road

all the folks around were caught completely by surprise

a savage cop was on the loose and he wasn’t civilize

 

6: The mounties didn’t tolerate a savage cop around

like Barney on the Griffith show he thought he owned the town

now he drives a snowmobile in 20 feet of snow

somewhere in the arctic where the nights are long and cold

 

                                   Oh, the savage cop in savage cove, he was outa control
