Stompin' Tom Connors - Margo's Cargo lyrics

rate me

Have you heard the news in Newfoundland? Rollin' around the Rock

How Reggie brought for Marggie home, cowsy dungsy clock?

With Marggie being a farm girl, she almost took a fit

To find the cowsy dungsy clock was really made of it.

The clock was from Toronto, and her mind was soon made up

She said to Reggie "Get the cow, and load her on the truck"

We're headin' for Ontario, and we're off to make er' big

Cause Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig, Reggie's got the rig

Reggie's got the rig, Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig.

Now they're rollin' through the Maritimes, The truck was nearly full

The cow began to ball, she was lonesome for the bull

The Mountie pulled them over "Is there something I can do?"

"Go right ahead" sir Marggie said, "climb in the back and moo"

Now when they got to Montreal, they missed the Auto route

But they found that everyone in town was glad to help them out.

The sooner you hit Toronto, the sooner you'll make it big

Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig, Reggie's got the rig

Reggie's got the rig, Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig.

Now the truck was overflowin' when Toronto hit the rise

The 401 was full of dung and the cab was full of flies

We're losin' lots of money Reg, we can't afford to stop.

We got to find the place that makes the cowsy dungsy clock

Well I wish you coulda been there, on the corner of Queen and Young

When Margo found the company and she dumped her load of dung

And when she found the office she was singing and doin' a jig

Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig, Reggie got the rig

Reggie got the rig, Margo brought the cargo b'y and Reggie brought the rig.

It was later in the evening when they heard from Mr. Judge

I don't know what to give ya's. but I'll never hold a grudge

I think a thousand dollars would be fair ta hand ya down

And 30 days of lodging will be free upon the town

Now Margo says to Reggie "What a hell of a deal we've struck"

We might have lost a cow b'y, but still we got the truck

And now they're back in Newfoundland, They're loadin' up the pig

Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig, Reggie's got the rig

Reggie's got the rig, Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig.

Margo's got the cargo b'y and Reggie's got the rig,
