Tickle Cove Pond – as performed by Great Big Sea
C walk down to
and when ponds freeze over we shorten our runs
CHORUS:
C walk down to
Been lucky for me had I joined her in doubt
CHORUS
C walk down to
I ne'er would have made that short cut on the ice
C walk down to
The same can be said for their children and wives
C walk down to
Straight from his heart came this song right away
CHORUS x2
GIn cuttin and haulin in frost aDnd in snowCwe're up against troubles D7that few people knowGIt's only by courageD and patience and gritCand eatin plaDin food that we Gkeep ourselves fiteThe hard and the easy we take as they comeC walk down to
a Dand when ponds freeze over we shorten our runs
Gto hurry my haulin with springD coming onCI near lost Dme a mare ouGt on Tickle Cove PondCHORUS:
DLay hGold William Oldford, lay hold WilliDam WhiteCLay hold of the cordage and Dpull all your mightGLay hold of the bowlinDe and pull all you canCAnd give me a lDift with poGor Kit on the pondGI knew that the ice grewD weaker each dayCBut still took the riD7sk and kept haulin awayGOne evening in AprilD bound home with a loadCmy mare shDowed some haltGing against the ice roadeShe knew more than I did as matters turned outC walk down to
a DBeen lucky for me had I joined her in doubt
GShe turned round her head Dwith tears in her eyesCAs if she wereD sayin "You'Gre risking our lives"GAll this I ignored witDh a whip handle blowCFor man is a stupid dumb D7creature you knowGAnd the very next momDent the pond gave a sighCand up to our neDcks went pGoor Kitty and ICHORUS
eAnd if I had taken wise Kitty's adviceC walk down to
a DI ne'er would have made that short cut on the ice
GPoor creature she's dead,D poor creature she's goneCI'll ne'er gDet my mare ouGt of Tickle Cove PondGI raised an alarm you coulDd hear for a mileCand neighbours showD7ed up in a very short whileGYou can always rely onD the Oldfords and WhitesCTo renderD assistance iGn all your bad plightseTo help a kind neighbour is part of their livesC walk down to
a DThe same can be said for their children and wives
GAnd with the rope fastDened around the mare's breastCWilliam WhitDe for a shGanty song made a requesteThere was no time for thinkin no time for delayC walk down to
a DStraight from his heart came this song right away
CHORUS x2
