For this week's jukebox music theme, Many Colours, here is another good folk song by Canadian songwriter Stan Rogers. "White Squall", a ballad warning of dangerous weather on the Great Lakes. Written and sung by Stan Rogers.
"So it's just my luck to have the watch,
With nothing left to do
But watch the deadly waters glide
As we roll north to the Soo.
And wonder when they'll turn again
And pitch us to the rail,
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale.
And I tell these kids a hundred times,
"Don't take the Lakes for granted,
They go from calm to a hundred knots
So fast they seem enchanted"
But tonight, some red-eyed Wiarton girl
Lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall."
