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||
