  			Song: Margo's Cargo  
 
(C)Have you heard the news in Newfoundland, (F)rolling around the (C)rock 
How Reggie brought for Margie home a (G)cowsie dungsie clock 
With (C)Margie being a farm girl, she (F)almost took a (C)fit 
To (F)find the cowsie (C)dungsie clock was (G)really made of (C)it 
Now, the clock was from Toronto and her (F)mind was soon made (C)up 
She said to Reggie "get the cow and (G)load her on the truck" 
We're (C)heading for Ontario and we're (F)off to make her (C)big 
Cause (F)Margo's got the (C)cargo, bye, and (G)Reggie's got the (C)rig 
 
Chorus 
(C)Reggie's got the rig, (F)Reggie's got the rig 
Margo's got the (C)cargo, bye, and (G)Reggie's got the (C)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 the 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 sonner you'll make it big" 
Cause Margo's got the cargo, bye, and Reggie's got the rig 
Chorus 
 
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, bye, 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 yous, 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, bye, 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, bye, and Reggie's got the rig 
Chorus (repeat 2x)
