Song: The Coal Boat Song
 
D
I left Cape Briton on the coal boat
                        A7
for St. John's Newfoundland
 
I met a little girl named Sally
                                   D
And I took her by her little white hand
 
She shook her little head & said no way Fred,
                            G
I won't go along with your plan
                         D
You been workin' on the coal boat boy
           A7                      D
And you're nothin' but a dirty old man
G                        D
You been workin' on the coal boat boy
           A7                      D
And you're nothin' but a dirty old man
 
          D
Spoken ...Well I had to think of something real fast ya know
D
Yeah well I'm gonna quit the dirty coal boats, 
                         A7
I wanna live in Newfoundland
 
I'll buy a suit & get married,
                                   D
put a ring upon your little white hand
 
She nodded her head & said "Ok, Fred",
                          G
Sall went along with the plan
                            D
But I'm still workin on the Coal Boat boy 
        A7                      D
And I'm nothin' but a dirty old man
G                           D
But I'm still workin on the Coal Boat boy
        A7                      D
And I'm nothin' but a dirty old man
 
D
It was sometime later on the Coal Boat
                            A7
I got a little letter from home
 
Sally said Freddy was a good boy,
                                 D
but the little beggar wanted to roam
 
She said, "It's too bad he's got you for a dad
                              G
And I hope that you feel real grand.
                          D
He's gone working on the Coal Boats boy 
       A7                     D
to be just like his dirty old man"
G                         D
He's gone working on the Coal Boats boy 
       A7                     D
to be just like his dirty old man"
 
D
I left Cape Briton on the coal boat
                        A7
for St. John's Newfoundland
 
I met a little girl named Sally
                                   D
And I took her by her little white hand
 
She shook her little head & said no way Fred,
                            G
I won't go along with your plan
                          D

         A7                     D
'Cause I loves ya, ya dirty old man
G                         D
You ain't gonna quits the coal boat boy 
         A7                     D
'Cause I loves ya, ya dirty old man
 
D
So come all young fellars on the coal boat,
                           A7
I hope you're gonna understand
 
If you got a pretty little girlfriend
                                     D
and ya takes her by the little white hand
 
If she turns her back & says "No way Jack,
                          G
I won't go along with Yer plan"
                        D
Just keep workin on the coal boats boy 
      A7                      D
if ya wants to be a dirty old man
G                       D
Just keep workin on the coal boat boy 
              A7                      D
And you'll be nothin' but a dirty old man
