Great Big Sea - A Boat Like Gideon Brown lyrics
Oh Gideon lived across the bay He's gettin' older now His boat is big and strong and bold She has a stalward bow But my father's boat was second hand One someone used before And after every fishing trip My father always swore That someday he would save enough To go to St. John's town And buy himself a big new boat A boat like Gideon Brown A boat like Gideon Brown Confederation came around And the days of old age pension He said 'Son I'm saving every cent' And this you must not mention You save the baby bonus too And things just might turn around And we'll have enough to buy a boat A boat like Gideon Brown [Chorus:] 'Cause she can punch ahead in any gale And ride the fishing ground I often thought how proud I'd be In a boat like Gideon Brown In a boat like Gideon Brown Many years did pass away And Dad began to fade He didn't talk of boats too much He said 'Son I'm afraid' If things don't soon improve Then I'll be underground Before we ever get to see ourselves In a boat like Gideon Brown [Chorus] I sat and held his hand one day And he said 'Son, that policy' The insurance is all in your name You're the beneficiary And when I'm gone they'll pay you off Then go to St. John's town And buy yourself a big new boat A boat like Gideon Brown [Chorus (2x)] |
