The Coal Boat Song
By Stompin' Tom Connors
>From the "B" side of the 45...Big Joe Mufferaw
Transcribed by Dan Nicholas


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                                            
You ain't gonna quits the coal boat boy 
         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
