The Coal Boats are Coming by Janul (2011) Chorus: The coal boats are coming The coal boats are coming There's nothing to stand in their way The coal boats are coming The coal boats are coming They're going to be through here today It's dark and it's cold, winter is old Gas and the coal running low It may work out, but there's little doubt That they'll get here through ice and through snow What's that I hear, no need to fear As they battle the bridge to get through Don't argue the stakes, there is a race But you know they'll be winning there too Chorus The boats have arrived, all have survived The dangers they met on the way Don't fall in the water Set back for Cart’ll likely not see the next day In time honoured ways they are spending their days Traditions so unchanged by male The coal boats are here give them good cheer For they might not come back here again Chorus x 2 A song about working coal boats who still trade the UK canals where people rely on them for deliveries.
