Up in Massachusetts

There's a little spit of land

The men who make the maps

Yes they call the place Cape Ann

Call it Gloucester Harbor Sound

But the women left behind

They call the place Dogtown

The men go out for whaling

Past the breakers and the fogs

The women stay home waiting

They're protected by the dogs

A tough old whaler woman

Who had seen three husbands drown

Polled the population

And she named the place Dogtown

There's all these grey faced women

In their black widow's gowns

Living in this graveyard granite town

Yeah you soon learn there's many

My father was a merchant

I'm going to leave you

Of a hundred shattered hulls

Walk the harbor as she raves

At the endless rolling whisper of the waves

Sitting by the fireside

The embers slowly die

Is it a sign of weakness

When a woman wants to cry

The dog is closely watching

The fire glints in his eye

No use to go to sleep this early

My blood beats like a woman's

I've got a woman's breast and thighs

But where am I to offer them

To the ocean or the skies

He has been my only husband

Am I a widow or his wife

Yes it's a Dogtown and it's a fog town

And there's nothing around 'cept the sea pounding granite ground

And this black midnight horror of a hound

I'm standing on this craggy cliff

My eyes fixed on the sea

For liking this half living with the lonely and the fog

You need the bastard of the mating of a woman and a dog
