Lyrics
If you got a perty little girlfriend, well i had to think of somethin real fast ya know Song, i hope your gonna understand
i won t go along with your plan
she nodded her head and said okay fred
I got a little letter from home, i left cape breton on the coal boat for st
I got a little letter from home, and you re nutin but a dirty old man
You ain t gonna quit the coal boat b y, she said it s too bad ya got him for a dad, and i took her by the little white hand
I hope your gonna understand, newfoundland
and good old sally was a waitin and i took he by the little white hand
sally went along with the plan
I won t go along with your plan, if ya wants to be a dirty old man
You ain t gonna quit the coal boat b y, and i m nutin but a dirty old man
Put a ring upon your little white hand, but the little beggar wanted to roam
I left cape breton on the coal boat for st, it was sometime later on the coal boat
it was sometime later on the coal boat
She shook her little head and said no way fred, just keep on working on the coal boat b y
She shook her little head and said no way fred, cause i loves ya
newfoundland
You dirty old man, but the little beggar wanted to roam
He s gone working on the coal boat b y, you dirty old man
Well i had to think of somethin real fast ya know, to be just like his dirty old man
You been working on the coal boat b y, i hope your gonna understand MacLean, and i m nutin but a dirty old man
You ain t gonna quit the coal boat b y, just keep workin on the coal boat b y
Cause i loves ya, cause i loves ya MacLean, and i m nutin but a dirty old man
and you re nutin but a dirty old man
You dirty old man, sally said freddy was a good boy
Sally said freddy was a good boy, put a ring upon your little white hand
You ain t gonna quit the coal boat b y, and you re nutin but a dirty old man
Just keep workin on the coal boat b y, cause i loves ya, i won t go along wit your plan
i won t go along wit your plan
I won t go along wit your plan, but i m still working on the coal boat b y
and i m nutin but a dirty old man
i ll buy a suit and get married
Sally went along with the plan, if ya wants to be a dirty old man, so come on all young fellers on the coal boat
And you re nutin but a dirty old man, i won t go along with your plan
Just keep on working on the coal boat b y, and i m nutin but a dirty old man Coal, you been working on the coal boat b y
and you re nutin but a dirty old man
I m still working on the coal boat b y, you ain t gonna quit the coal boat b y
If ya wants to be a dirty old man, and you re nutin but a dirty old man Coal, and i met a little girl named sally
it was sometime later on the coal boat
and you ll be nutin but a dirty old man
I got a little letter from home, newfoundland
You dirty old man, but i m still working on the coal boat b y
I hope your gonna understand, newfoundland, i wanna live in newfoundland
put a ring upon your little white hand
And i hope that ya feel real grand, and you ll be nutin but a dirty old man Boat, you been working on the coal boat b y
she shook her little head and said no way fred
put a ring upon your little white hand
i left cape breton on the coal boat for st
Well i had to think of somethin real fast ya know, if she turns her back and says no way jack
