The Coal Boat Song

I left Cape Briton on the coal boat for St. John's Newfoundland I met a little girl named Sally And I took her by her little white hand She shook her little head & said no way Fred, I won't go along with your plan You been workin' on the coal boat boy And you're nothin' but a dirty old man You been workin' on the coal boat boy And you're nothin' but a dirty old man Spoken ...Well I had to think of something real fast ya know Yeah well I'm gonna quit the dirty coal boats, I wanna live in Newfoundland I'll buy a suit & get married, put a ring upon your little white hand She nodded her head & said "Ok, Fred", Sall went along with the plan But I'm still workin on the Coal Boat boy And I'm nothin' but a dirty old man But I'm still workin on the Coal Boat boy And I'm nothin' but a dirty old man It was sometime later on the Coal Boat I got a little letter from home Sally said Freddy was a good boy, but the little beggar wanted to roam She said, "It's too bad he's got you for a dad And I hope that you feel real grand. He's gone working on the Coal Boats boy to be just like his dirty old man" He's gone working on the Coal Boats boy to be just like his dirty old man" I left Cape Briton on the coal boat for St. John's Newfoundland I met a little girl named Sally And I took her by her little white hand She shook her little head & said no way Fred, I won't go along with your plan You ain't gonna quits the coal boat boy 'Cause I loves ya, ya dirty old man You ain't gonna quits the coal boat boy 'Cause I loves ya, ya dirty old man So come all young fellars on the coal boat, I hope you're gonna understand If you got a pretty little girlfriend and ya takes her by the little white hand If she turns her back & says "No way Jack, I won't go along with Yer plan" Just keep workin on the coal boats boy if ya wants to be a dirty old man Just keep workin on the coal boat boy And you'll be nothin' but a dirty old man
