1
Oh Gideon lived across the bay
2
He's gettin' older now
3
His boat is big and strong and bold
4
She has a stalward bow
5
But my father's boat was second hand
6
One someone used before
7
And after every fishing trip
8
My father always swore
9
That someday he would save enough
10
To go to St. John's town
11
And buy himself a big new boat
12
A boat like Gideon Brown
13
A boat like Gideon Brown
14
Confederation came around
15
And the days of old age pension
16
He said 'Son I'm saving every cent'
17
And this you must not mention
18
You save the baby bonus too
19
And things just might turn around
20
And we'll have enough to buy a boat
21
A boat like Gideon Brown
22
[Chorus:]
23
'Cause she can punch ahead in any gale
24
And ride the fishing ground
25
I often thought how proud I'd be
26
In a boat like Gideon Brown
27
In a boat like Gideon Brown
28
Many years did pass away
29
And Dad began to fade
30
He didn't talk of boats too much
31
He said 'Son I'm afraid'
32
If things don't soon improve
33
Then I'll be underground
34
Before we ever get to see ourselves
35
In a boat like Gideon Brown
36
[Chorus:]
37
I sat and held his hand one day
38
And he said 'Son, that policy'
39
The insurance is all in your name
40
You're the beneficiary
41
And when I'm gone they'll pay you off
42
Then go to St. John's town
43
And buy yourself a big new boat
44
A boat like Gideon Brown
45
[Chorus (2x)]
