oh gideon lived across the bay
Hes gettin older now
His boat is big and strong and bold
She has a stalward bow
But my fathers boat was second hand
One someone used before
And after every fishing trip
My father always swore
That someday he would save enough
To go to st johns town
And buy himself a big new boat
A boat like gideon brown
A boat like gideon brown
Confederation came around
And the days of old age pension
He said son im saving every cent
And this you must not mention
You save the baby bonus too
And things just might turn around
And well have enough to buy a boat
A boat like gideon brown
Chorus
Cause she can punch ahead in any gale
And ride the fishing ground
I often thought how proud id be
In a boat like gideon brown
In a boat like gideon brown
Many years did pass away
And dad began to fade
He didnt talk of boats too much
He said son im afraid
If things dont soon improve
Then ill be underground
Before we ever get to see ourselves
In a boat like gideon brown
Chorus
I sat and held his hand one day
And he said son
That policy
The insurance is all in your name
Youre the beneficiary
And when im gone theyll pay you off
Then go to st johns town
And buy yourself a big new boat
A boat like gideon brown
Chorus 2x
