Margo's Cargo - Stompin' Tom Connors
Written by:T.C. Connors
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 by and Reggie's got the rig Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig Margo's got the cargo by 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 by and Reggie's got the rig Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig Margo's got the cargo by and Reggie's got the rig
Now the truck was overflowing when Toronto hit the rise
The 401 was full of dung and the cab was full of flies
We're losing 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 could 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 doing a jig
Margo's got the cargo by and Reggie's got the rig Reggie got the rig
Reggie got the rig Margo brought the cargo by 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 by but still we got the truck
And now they're back in Newfoundland
They're loading up the pig
Margo's got the cargo by and Reggie's got the rig Reggie's got the rig
Reggie's got the rig Margo's got the cargo by and Reggie's got the rig
Margo's got the cargo by and Reggie's got the rig
