G C D G
I'm a hardy old sailor from Newfoundland's shore,
C D
I've fished for me livin' on the wild Labra- dor;
G C D
Now the fishin's all over, me work is all done,
G C D G
And I'm goin' out to- night with me rubber boots on.
C D G
So I ate up me supper and I shaved off me beard,
C D
For courtin' indeed I was highly pre- pared;
G C D
With the day's work all over and the night comin' on,
G C D G
I re- member that night with me rubber boots on.
C D G
I knocked on her door and me knock it was low,
C D
And out of her slumber my knock she did know;
G C D
She came to the door and said "Is that you, Tom?"
G C D G
"It is, love," said I, "with me rubber boots on."
C D G
She opened the door and in- vited me in,
C D
And into her bedroom she in- vited me in;
G C D
She jumped on the bed with the blankets rolled on,
G C D G
And I hopped in be- side her with me rubber boots on.
C D G
Well, daylight next mornin' with the sun in the sky,
C D
I turned to me true love to say good- bye;
G C D
She said "Don't you leave me, don't you know you done wrong,
G C D G
For you slept here all night with your rubber boots on."
C D G
I turned to me true love with a wink and a smile,
C D
I said, "Nothing could happen in such a short while;
G C D
What- ever I did, love, I did it for fun."
G C D G
And I hopped out of bed with me rubber boots on.
C D G
It being nine months later I was summoned to court,
C D
Ten shillings a week I was fined for me sport;
G C D
Ten shillings a week from a fisherman's son,
G C D G
I re- gretted that night with me rubber boots on.
C D G
Ah, but now I'm back fishin', I'm happy for sure,
C D
I'll make them ten shillings on the wild Labra- dor;
G C D
And when he gets bigger I'll take 'long me son,
G And HE'LL fish for the (C)cod WITH his (D)rubber BOOTS (G)on
