She’s Gonna Blow

I saw her one day standing at the bar
She was pouring up a drink and acting like a star
She had a blue dress and it was her birthday
It was no trouble to tell she was from around the bay
She came to town this morning 10:15
She was gonna find the guy of her dreams
But what she got so far was bad manners
The guys watched the game and no one asked her name

She’s gonna blow

So she grabbed a stool and threw it down
Not one fella made a sound
So she threw her drink up at the screen
These poor townies ain't never seen a woman mean
She finally got their attention
Then she started to tell them how to be men
But they looked away and started back at the beer
They should have known she was from Carbonear
She’s gonna blow

She’s Gonna blow

But the guy who worked there behind the bar
He loved her spirit and there was a spark
He asked her out on a date right away
Promised to take her around the bay
So they got married and bought a house
She was the best woman to make a spouse
Pretty soon there was a baby on the way
Nine months had passed and today was the day

She’s gonna blow
She’s gonna blow
She’s gonna blow
She’s gonna blow
