Margo's Cargo

Click Here for guitar tabs.

Have you heard the news in Newfoundland, rolling around the rock,
How Reggie brought for Margie home a cowsie dungsie clock?
With Margie being a farm girl, she amost took a fit,
To find the cowsie dungsie clock was really made of it.

Now, 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 heading for Ontario and we're off to make her 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 rolling thru the Maritimes and the truck was nearly full,
The cow began to bawl, she was lonesome for her bull;
The Mountie pulled them over "Is there something I can do?"
"Go right ahead, sir," Margie said, "climb in the back and moo!"

And when they got to Montreal they missed the Autoroute,
But they found that everyone in town was glad to help them out;
"The sooner you hit Toronto," they said, "the sooner you'll make it 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.

Well, I wish you could've been there at the corner of Queen and Yonge,
When Margo found the company and she dumped her load of dung;
And when she found the office, she was singin' and doin' a jig,
'Cause Margo's got the cargo, b'y, and Reggie's got the rig.

It was later in the evening when they heard from Mr. Judge,
"I don't know what to give you, but I'll never hold a grudge;
I think a thousand dollars would be fair to hand you down,
And thirty days of lodging will be free upon the town!"

Well Margo said to Reggie, "What a helluva deal we struck,
We might have lost the cow, b'y, but still we've got the truck."
And now they're back in Newfoundland, they're loading 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.
