Well, this is what I can make of two Ian & Sylvia recordings. BDenz posted everything sung by the Halifax Three except "He got so mad, he threw his watch away"

Rocks and Gravel

SYLVIA
Well, if I'd a known the captain was blind, darling, darling;
If I'd a known the captain was blind, darling, darling;
If I'd a known the captain was blind,
I wouldn't've gone to work till half past nine, darling, darling.

I asked the captain for the time of day, darling ...
He got so mad, he threw his watch away

IAN:
Well, it's early in the morning, when I rise, Lordy,
Well, it's early in the morning, when I rise
Well, it's early in the morning, when I rise, Lordy,
Well, it's early in the morning, when I rise

I said, hey, Rosie, will you be my gal?
I said, hey, Rosie, will you be my gal?
Every day will be payday, dollar bill in your hand,
Well, hey, Rosie, will you be my gal?

(both singing at the same time - can't understand)
(seeing what Barry typed, maybe Ian & Sylvia didn't WANT us to understand....)




Chorus:
It takes rocks and gravel, well
To make a mighty fine road, lordy mama
It take rocks and gravel to make a solid road.
