Oh Gideon lived across the bay
He`s gettin` older now
His boat is big and strong and bold
She has a stalward bow
But my father`s 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. John`s 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 I`m saving every cent`
And this you must not mention
You save the baby bonus too
And things just might turn around
And we`ll 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 I`d be
In a boat like Gideon Brown
In a boat like Gideon Brown
Many years did pass away
And Dad began to fade
He didn`t talk of boats too much
He said `Son I`m afraid`
If things don`t soon improve
Then I`ll 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
You`re the beneficiary
And when I`m gone they`ll pay you off
Then go to St. John`s town
And buy yourself a big new boat
A boat like Gideon Brown
