Verse 1
[D] [G] [D]
There’s a man who still working,
[D] [G] [D]
Where the tunnel cuts through stone,
[A]
He’s called a canal boatman,
[D] [G] [D]
In the dark he moves alone.
Verse 2
[D] [G] [D]
They say he never left there,
[D] [G] [D]
Never found the morning light,
[A]
He's “legging” the heavy barges,
[D] [G] [D]
Through the never-ending night.
Chorus
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Still works in the dark,
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Where the tunnel leaves its mark.
Verse 3
[D] [G] [D]
The tunnel bends without warning,
[D] [G] [D]
You can never see where it ends,
[A]
And he meets you in the silence,
[D] [G] [D]
Around every bend.
Verse 4
[D] [G] [D]
Some say he warns the others,
[D] [G] [D]
With a lantern faint and low,
[A]
Others say he comes quickly,
[D] [G] [D]
When the waters start to flow.
Chorus
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Still works in the dark,
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Where the tunnel leaves its mark.
Verse 5
[D] [G] [D]
No towpath runs beside him,
[D] [G] [D]
No horses pull him through,
[A]
Just echoes in the water,
[D] [G] [D]
And a job he’s still got to do.
[Final Chorus]
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Still working in the dark,
[C] [G]
Oh the Canal boatman
[D] [G] [D]
Always in Saltersford’s heart.
