Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: FreddyHeadey Date: 28 Oct 25 - 08:07 AM NARROW BOATS TO TOW - Graeme Meek © Barry Goodman 2008 A dark and dismal morning in the middle of October, Another day of toil in the bitter cold and rain. Sixty tons of coal in the narrow boats behind me As I start along the towpath once again. Fetched from out the stables before the dawn was breaking, Harnessed, fed and watered with the stars still in the sky; Starting on the working day before the world is waking With thirty miles to travel by and by. Chorus: I could have pulled a haywain, I could have pulled a hearse, I could have pulled a brewer’s dray to quench the people’s thirst, I could have pulled an omnibus, I might have pulled a plough, But I’m a boathorse and I’ve narrow boats to tow.
