Lyrics to Rubber Boots :
There are many versions of the Rubber Boot Song,
But I'll tell you now that the stories are wrong;
I'll continue the song in the words of me son,
Who fished with his dad with his rubber boots on.
Yes, I am the boy in the rubber boot song,
And I've worked with me father for seven years long;
Me father's unwilling to let me go home,
He wants me to work with me rubber boots on.
The Labrador shore is a rough place to be,
And I find it lonely, just me father and me;
If I had a girlfriend I'd stay with Old Tom,
And make the ten shillings with me rubber boots on.
Well, a merchant's fine daughter came down for the year,
A pretty young thing with long yellow hair;
I can't wait today till me work is all done,
And I'll go to her place with me rubber boots on.
Now, you can imagine my total surprise,
To find a house full of other young boys;
Wearin' their rubbers just like Father Tom,
'Cause they heard the song called the Rubber Boot Song.
Me mind it was working a mile overtime,
I had an advantage so I took me time;
For it was her aunt 'twas said in the song,
Kicked me dad out of bed with his rubber boots on.
When the house it was empty I knocked on her door,
She welcomed me in where I'd ne'er been before;
She said in a wink that her father was gone,
So I stepped in there smartly with me rubber boots on.
We went up the stairs and we jumped on the bed,
No thoughts of her father came into me head;
Till I heard the door like the sound of a gun,
And I jumped out of bed with me rubber boots on.
I rushed to the window my escape for to make,
But her father was waiting my life for to take;
The old man he grabbed me and he threw me head-long,
And I pitched on the ground with me rubber boots on.
That I lived to tell this is quite a surprise,
For the old man he chased me wiith fire in his eyes;
He told me to get and he discharged his gun,
And I ran like the devil with me rubber boots on.
It was just two years later I met him once more,
He greeted me kindly like he'd ne'er done before;
He invited me over to see his grandson,
Run all 'round the house with his rubber boots on
