Top 9 Stan Rogers Quotes

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

No matter what you've lost
Be it a home, a love, a friend

Rise again
Rise again
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men.

God damn them all!

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-eight (how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!)

To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men
To find there but the road back home again.

Race the roaring Fraser to the sea.

Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones
And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
And make a northwest passage to the sea.
