[Verse 1]
[D]I left Cape Breton on the coal boat for St. J[A]ohn's, Newfoundland|And I met a little girl named Sally|And I took her by the little w[D]hite hand|She shook her little head and said 'No way Fred'|I won't go along with y[G]our plan|You been working on t[D]he coal boat b'y|And you're nutin' but a d[A]irty o[D]ld m[G]an|You been working on the c[D]oal boat b'y|And you're nutin' but a d[A]irty o[D]ld 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 i[A]n Newfoundland|I'll buy a suit and get married|Put a ring upon your little w[D]hite hand||She nodded her head and said 'Okay Fred'|Sally went along with t[G]he plan|But I'm still working on t[D]he coal boat b'y|and I'm nutin' but a d[A]irty o[D]ld m[G]an|I'm still working on the [D]coal boat b'y|and I'm nutin' but a dirt[A]y old [D]man||It was sometime later on the coal boat|I got a little letter from[A] home|Sally said Freddy was a good boy|But the little beggar wanted to r[D]oam|She said it's too bad ya got him for a dad||And I hope that ya feel real[G] grand|He's gone working on t[D]he coal boat b'y|To be just like his dirt[A]y old [D]man|[G]He's gone workin on the coal bo[D]at b'y|To be just like his dirty o[A]ld man[D]||Well I left Cape Breton on the coal boat for St. John's,
[A]Newfoundland|And good old Sally was a waitin' and I took he by the little whi[D]te hand|She shook her little head and said no way Fred|I won't go along wit you[G]r plan|You ain't gonna quit the coa[D]l boat b'y|Cause I loves ya, you dir[A]ty old[D] man[G]|You ain't gonna quit the co[D]al boat b'y|Cause I loves ya, you dirty [A]old ma[D]n||So come on all young fellers on the coal boat|I hope your gonna [A]understand|If you got a perty little girlfriend|And ya take her by the little white [D]hand|If she turns her back and says 'No way Jack'|I won't go along wit your p[G]lan|Just keep workin' on the co[D]al boat b'y|If ya wants to be a dirty [A]old ma[D]n|Ju[G]st keep on working on the coal [D]boat b'y|And you'll be nutin' but a dirty o[A]ld man||
