Where canal boats plied their trade,
Men puffed on pipes and cargo moved
Women knitted scarves, hats and gloves,
While stirring hot soups and drop scones made.
Information passed between boats of work to be had.
Laughter dwindled as they slowly made their way.
Those were the days some clung on too .
Remembered in many a jaunty song.
