A Boat Like Gideon Brown Great Big Sea
His b[C]oat is big and st[G]rong and bold
She h[Am]as a stalwart b[D]ow
But my fa[G]ther's boat was second hand
One so[C]meone'd used bef[G]ore
And a[C]fter every fi[G]shing trip
My fa[Am]ther always s[D]wore.
That som[G]eday he would save enough
To g[C]o to St. John's T[G]own
And b[C]uy himself a b[G]ig new boat
A b[C]oat like G[D]ideon B[G]rown
A b[C]oat like Gi[D]deon Br[G]own
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
Things just might turn around
And we'll have enough to buy a boat
A boat like Gideon Brown"
Chorus: She can p[Em]unch ahead in any gale
And r[C]ide the fishing gr[D]ound
I of[G]ten thought how proud I'd be
In a b[C]oat like G[D]ideon B[G]rown
In a b[C]oat like G[D]ideon B[G]rown
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
'fore we ever get to see ourselves
In a boat like Gideon Brown"
CHORUS
I sat and held his hand one day
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 (twice)
