1. GIn cuttin and haulin in frost aDnd in snow
   Cwe're up against troubles D7that few people know
   GIt's only by courageD and patience and grit
   Cand eatin plaDin food that we Gkeep ourselves fit
   EmThe hard and the easy we take as they come
   Cand when ponds freeze Amover we shorDten our runs
   Gto hurry my haulin with springD coming on
   CI near lost Dme a mare ouGt on Tickle Cove Pond

R: DLay hGold William Oldford, lay hold WilliDam White
   CLay hold of the cordage and Dpull all your might
   GLay hold of the bowlinDe and pull all you can
   CAnd give me a lDift with poGor Kit on the pond

2. I knew that the ice grew weaker each day
   But still took the risk and kept haulin away
   One evening in April bound home with a load
   my mare showed some halting against the ice road
   She knew more than I did as matters turned out
   Been lucky for me had I joined her in doubt
   She turned round her head with tears in her eyes
   As if she were sayin "You're risking our lives"

   GAll this I ignored witDh a whip handle blow
   CFor man is a stupid dumb D7creature you know
   GAnd the very next momDent the pond gave a sigh
   Cand up to our neDcks went pGoor Kitty and I

R: Lay hold William Oldford...

   EmAnd if I had taken wise Kitty's advice
   C              walk down to      Am         D
   I ne'er would have made that short cut on the ice
   GPoor creature she's dead,D poor creature she's gone
   CI'll ne'er gDet my mare ouGt of Tickle Cove Pond

3. I raised an alarm you could hear for a mile
   and neighbours showed up in a very short while
   You can always rely on the Oldfords and Whites
   To render assistance in all your bad plights
   To help a kind neighbour is part of their lives
   The same can be said for their children and wives
   And with the rope fastened around the mare's breast
   William White for a shanty song made a request

^EmThere was no time for thinkin no time for delay

^CStraight from his heart came this ^Amsong right ^Daway

R: Lay hold William Oldford... (2x)
