[Verso 1]
Em C
I'm a hard-working boater and sharp as a knife
G Dsus4 D
And I worked on the junctionfor most of mylife
Em C
With a pair of steel boats,seven kids and a wife
G D Em
And I fancy I'll carry on boating
Em C
I've fought with my windlass and taken some knocks
G Dsus4 D
From the Birmingham wharves to the Weston Point Docks
Em C
And I've fought for my turn on the Camden Town Locks
G D Em
When I'm wanted in Limehouse for loading
[Verso 2]
Em C
Myself and the missus have nearly been drowned
G Dsus4 D
While working by night on the fifteen-mile pound
Em C
With a big load of spelter for Birmingham bound
G D Em
And the weather has been pretty bloody
Em G A D
I've been down to Oxford with a load of D.S.
Em Bm D
Fifty ton ten on the Griff Arm, no less
Em C
And I've boated to Wellingboro, two boats abreast
G D Em
When the water's been coming down floody

[Verso 3]
Em C
You can talk of your rail and your old Highway Code
G Dsus4 D
But there's nowt like a pair with a fifty-ton load
Em C
When the butty swims well and you get a good road
G D Em
Right over the Cowroast to Leighton
Em G A D
So wind up your motor and let your blades churn
Em Bm D
Keep a close eye on the oil that you burn
Em C
And feel for the snatch of the butty astern
G D Em
And don't keep the company waiting
G D Em
Oh, don't keep the company waiting
