Thread Name: Folk Songs for anglers!
Subject: Lyr Add: WE WISH YOU WOULD CLEAN OUR FISH MISS
Well, it's the wrong season but Rex Fowler has written some hilarious "Fish Carols" (songs for anglers set to Christmas carol tunes). My favorite is "We Wish You WOuld Clean Our Fish, MIss".

"We Wish You WOuld Clean Our Fish, Miss"

Good tidings we bring, and fish on a string
We're hungry and thirsty after angling

We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss, and bring us some beer

We fish sun to sun now our work is done
We're hungry and thirsty and we want to have fun

We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss, and bring us some beer

We're fishing all day, and what's that you say?
Old fishermen don't die, we just smell that way

We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss
We wish you would clean our fish, Miss, and bring us some beer
