^DI left Cape Briton on the coal boat for St. John's Newfoundl^A7and

And I took her by her little white ^Dhand She shook her little head & said no way Fred, I won't go along with your p^Glan You been workin' on the c^Doal boat boy And you're ^A7nothin' but a dirty old ^Dman ^GYou been workin' on the c^Doal boat boy And you're ^A7nothin' but a dirty old ^Dman
