I was dating a girl who was 18. She loved everything catchy and poppy song you could think of. Der hated my taste in folk music and I always had Dylan or Guthrie or Stan in the car. One day at a stop light I looked over at her, this song was playing and she was looking out the window. She had a cute smile and a tear was running down her cheek as she quietly mouthed "and the harbor bars be moaning". Stan can reach deep inside of you and pull emotions out like no other artist. Love him. Thank you

This is one of my favorites by Stan. My father used to, when I was an infant, sing me to sleep to "The Field Behind The Plow." This song is bittersweet for me. I got my love of music and playing guitar from my father. I watched him dedicate 30 years of his life to his career as a firefighter only to watch his body begin to fail him now. It was never lost on me growing up that our time here is finite, but it's hitting home now that I feel like I'm playing catch up with him. This, Lies and 45 Years always bring me to tears.

Dylan was awful. Guthrie hugely over-rated. Stan however, was the Richard Wagner of Folk. Truly, the greatest.

I read that this poem was written shorthly after a terrible storm in the late 19th century swept in suddenly and caught the local fishermen on their fishing grounds 20 - 25 miles off shore. The men in that place and time fished in four man open boats they called fouroreens. Of course they in boats with their relatives and friends. The entire coast was devastated. There were many villages where every man in the village drowned in that storm. After the funerals, the old men and little boys went out and fished, because otherwise they would all starve. They also went to larger, six man open boats they called sixoreens that could handle the rough water a little better. Heart breaking when you think what people have done to see their families fed.

Grimsby ... "And it's three score and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town." It was the storm of February, 1889 ... Bok, Muir, and Trickett do an excellent version of it ...

Welcome to the club! I've been listening to him since I was a child, courtesy of my father. I've seen his brother Garnet live more times than I can count, and met Nathan when he was a kid. Stan will always hold a special place in my heart for two reasons. My grandfather was born and raised in Toronto, so I connect with the Canadian heritage, and my father passing on his love of music to me and my brother. One of my favorites from Stan.

Three fishers went sailing out into the west Out into the west as the sun went down Each thought on the woman that loved him the best, and The children stood watching them out of the town For men must work and women must weep For there's little to earn and many to keep, and The harbour bar be moanin', and The harbour bar be moanin' Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down, and They looked at the squall and they looked at the shower, and The night-wrack came rollin' in, ragged and brown For men must work and women must weep Though storms be sud - den and the waters be deep, and The harbour bar be moanin', and The Harbour bar be moanin' Three corpses lay out on the shining sand In the morning gleam as the tide went down, and The women were weepin' and wringin' their hands For those who would never come back to the town For men must work and women must weep, and The sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep, and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin', and Good - bye to the bar and it's moanin' Oh men must work and women must weep, and The sooner it's over, the sooner to sleep, and Good - bye to the bar and its moanin', and Good - bye to the bar and it's moanin'

Thanks for uploading this. Haunting music. Other versions with a slightly different tune, I don't like quite as well.If you're interested, but haven't had the opportunity, Stans' wife, Ariel, occasionally responds to emails placed through the Fogarty's Cove/Cole Harbour Music Website.In the 10 years or so that Garnet toured with Stan, he arranged several of the tunes and can be contacted through his website. There’s a festival called StanFest each year in early July, in Canso, NS.

Since I first met them in Binghamton, NY, I have listened to Stan and Garrett bring the personal power inherent in Canada to eternal life. And my eyes are wet every damn time for the loss of Stan, yes, but more still for the super-human sacrifice of so many generations of Fogarty Boys, and Calgary roughnecks from Hermitage bay and those who loved Canada best and are with her till the end. This beguiled Yank was converted in 1981, and has never been truly home since south of the St. Lawrence.

I thought I was the only one who felt this strongly. What I feel when I cross the border is almost indescribable. There is just so much more they got right up there than we did down here IMO. And as I see it, more often than not, the stuff they got wrong, they own; as opposed to making excuses.

No disrespect, I think is his song/poem is wonderful and sad. But after having a good cry, I wrote an alternate last verse: Three men climbed out on the shining sands In the morning gleam as the tide went down, And the women are weeping and wringing their hands For those whom God gave back to the town; For men must work, and women must weep, And now that it's over, we all can sleep- Say good-by to the bar and its moaning.

The wives probably felt blessed that the sea spit their bodies back to bury on land. It is a deeply sorrowful song. Death is always close when people work on the sea.
