The Jam on Jerry's Rock

Come all you young Canadian boys, wherever that you be,
I pray you pay attention and listen unto me.
It's of a true Canadian boy who volunteered to go
To break the jam on Gary's Rocks with their foreman, young Monroe.

While some of them were willing, the others they hung back.
All for to work on Sunday, they knew it was not right,
While six of our bold Canadian boys, they volunteered to go
To break the jam on Gary's Rocks with their foreman, young Monroe.

They worked away three hours or more, when the foreman he cried out,
— I pray you, boys, be on your guard, for the jam will soon break loose! —
He had not hardly spoken those words when the jam did start and go,
And swept away those six young youths with their foreman, young Monroe.
