goblin band - hard working boater lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m a hard+working boater and sharp as a knife
and i worked on the junction for most of my life
with a pair of steel boats, seven kids and a wife
and i fancy i’ll carry on boating

i’ve fought with me windlass and taken some knocks
from the birmingham wharves to the weston point docks
and i’ve fought for my turn on the camden town locks
when i’m wanted in limehouse for loading

[verse 2]
myself and the missus have nearly been drowned
while working by night on the fifteen+mile pound
with a big load of spelter for birmingham bound
and the weather has been pretty bl++dy

i’ve been down to oxford with a load of ds
fifty ton ten on the griff arm, no less
and i’ve boated to wellingboro, two boats abreast
when the water’s been coming down floody

[verse 3]
you can talk of your rail and your old highway code
but there’s nowt like a pair with a fifty+ton load
when the b+tty swims well and you get a good road
right over the cowroast to leighton
so wind up your motor and let your blades churn
keep a close eye on the oil that you burn
and feel for the sn+tch of the b+tty astern
and don’t keep the company waiting
oh, don’t keep the company waiting
