Great Big Sea - Tickle Cove Pond - Sözleri

In cuttin' and haulin', in frost and in snow

We're up against troubles that few people know

It's only by courage and patience and grit

And eatin' plain food that we keep ourselves fit



The hard and the easy we take as they come

And when ponds freeze over we shorten our runs

To hurry my haulin' with spring coming on

I near lost me a mare out on Tickle Cove Pond



CHORUS:

Lay hold William Oldford, lay hold William White

Lay hold of the cordage and pull all your might

Lay hold of the bowline and pull all you can

And give me a lift with poor Kit on the pond



I knew that the ice grew weaker each day

But still I took risk and kept haulin' away

One evening in April bound home with a load

My mare showed some halting against the ice road



She knew more than I did as matters tunred out

And lucky for me had I joined her in doubt

She turned round her head with tears in her eyes

As if she was sayin', "You're risking our lives"



All this I ignores with a whip handle blow

For man is a stupid dumb creature you know

At the very next moment the pond gave a sigh

And up to our necks when poor Kitty and I



CHORUS



And if I had taken wise Kitty's advice

I ne'er would have made that short cut on the ice

Poor creature she's dead, poor creature she's gone

I'll ne'er get my mare out of Tickle Cove Pond



But I raised an alarm you could hear for a mile

And neighbours showed up in a very short while

You can always rely on the Olfords and Whites

To render assistance in all your bad plights



To help a kind neighbour is part of their lives

The same can be said for their childten and wives



And with the rope fastened around the mare's breast

William White for a shanty song made a request

There was no time for thinkin', no time for delay

Straight from his heart came this song right away



CHORUS



Lay hold William Oldford, lay hold William White

Lay hold of the cordage and pull all your might

Lay hold of the bowline and pull all you can

And with that we took Kit out of Tickle Cove Pond
