Artist/Band: Stompin Tom Connors
Lyrics for Song: The Coal Boat Song
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Stompin Tom Connors



I left Cape Breton on the coal boat for St. John's, Newfoundland

And I met a little girl named Sally

And I took her by the little white hand

She shook her little head and said "No way Fred"

I won't go along with your plan

You been working on the coal boat b'y

And you're nutin' but a dirty old man

You been working on the coal boat b'y

And you're nutin' but a dirty old man



Spoken:

Well I had to think of somethin' real fast ya know



Yeah well I'm gonna quit the dirty coal boat

I wanna live in Newfoundland

I'll buy a suit and get married

Put a ring upon your little white hand



She nodded her head and said "Okay Fred"

Sally went along with the plan

But I'm still working on the coal boat b'y

and I'm nutin' but a dirty old man

I'm still working on the coal boat b'y

and I'm nutin' 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 ya got him for a dad

And I hope that ya feel real grand

He's gone working on the coal boat b'y

To be just like his dirty old man

He's gone workin on the coal boat b'y

To be just like his dirty old man



Well I left Cape Breton on the coal boat for St. John's, Newfoundland

And good old Sally was a waitin' and I took he by the little white hand

She shook her little head and said no way Fred

I won't go along wit your plan

You ain't gonna quit the coal boat b'y

Cause I loves ya, you dirty old man

You ain't gonna quit the coal boat b'y

Cause I loves ya, you dirty old man



So come on all young fellers on the coal boat

I hope your gonna understand

If you got a perty little girlfriend

And ya take her by the little white hand

If she turns her back and says "No way Jack"

I won't go along wit your plan

Just keep workin' on the coal boat b'y

If ya wants to be a dirty old man

Just keep on working on the coal boat b'y

And you'll be nutin' but a dirty old man
