I have an old 33 1/3 Rpm record that I cannot seem to find at the
moment but I did find a CAS TAPE of one song from it....

It is a terriffic, kinda novelty country song, excellent back up music, but I cannot recall the artists name. It is by a male singer, not very well known, at least by me, and a kinda odd sounding name, if I recall correctly, and I DO NOT FREQUENTLY NOWADAYS.

Any help appreciated: Email: [e-mail] for mp3.

Thanks
G

"...she will
marry a porpoise
and he will
he will
teach her to swim
and certainly in no time
she will rule the sea..."

The Chicken Of The Sea
Writer/Singer TBD

In the hills of Tennessee, that is where I long to be
Where the trees are tall, the roads are rough and rocky
And a little house stands there, rottin' down from lack of care
It's a dream house of this Chicken Of The Sea

There was Stella that I dated, till she made a big mistake
Then she said the two of us, would soon be three
So I packed my bag and left her, joined the Navy, saw the world
Now they call me the Chicken Of The Sea

I dream about her often and the baby that we had
And I long most every hour, just to go back home and see
If we can't start a new life, live the way a man should live
I can't do it, I'm the Chicken Of The Sea

In the lonely ports I'll anchor with it always on my mind
And a baby's cry will tear the heart from me
Is it pride or lack of courage, am I only half a man
And the answer is I'm the Chicken Of The Sea

TAG:
And the answer is, I'm the Chicken Of The Sea

Give or take a word here and there..

Mystery Solved.... I finally found the LP....after looking thru
several hundred lps....I already knew it was mis/filed...

and BMI confirms the writer of the song also.

Artist is D'Fleming and is apparently from the mid 1970s....
