Leggin' Boats Whalley/Traditional © Legless Productions/Bridge Music 1974 All Rights Reserved Recorded by Giggetty Oh the bargees they are strong leggin’ boats leggin’ boats Oh the bargees they are strong and the hours they work are long But too soon they will be gone leggin’ boats leggin’ boats. Nineteen minutes aye plus five leggin’ boats leggin’ boats Nineteen minutes aye plus five the nine locks for to drive Then at the end they do arrive leggin’ boats leggin’ boats. 21 tons they do take leggin’ boats leggin’ boats 21 tons they do take and deliver to the gate Aye and not a minute late leggin’ boats leggin’ boats. Now the horses took the strain leggin’ boats leggin’ boats Now the horses took the strain but they’ll ne’re be seen again No more horses no more mane leggin’ boats leggin boats. Now the bargees they are gone leggin’ boats leggin’ boats Oh the bargees they are gone but their memory lingers on For the hours they worked were long leggin’ boats leggin’ boats.
