This is Johnny Doughty's text: Live herrings, Deaf and dumb bloaters, Cock-eyed winkles, Paralyzed shrimps, Stiff-back whiting, Hump-backed mackerel, All caught fresh today lady. Johnny told me that he had learnt the song from fish sellers along the sea front at Brighton. As I could not find any other version at the time, I assumed that it must have been a local song. However, now that there are other known versions, I am beginning to wonder if it is originally from print, or else from the stage. You can hear Johnny singing it on the Veteran CD 'When the Wind Blows' (VTCD5CD).
