Help! Somebody has got to know this song. I think the 1st line is "Where you gonna be when the sun goes down, my fisherman?" It ends, "My fisherman, my laddeo, my love." I'd like to find the music, too. Thanks, B.

Hi, Babbie - I'm familiar with the song, but I guess I don't have a source for it myself. It's "My Fisherman, My Laddie-O," by Robinson & Salt, and it's on the Reunion at Carnegie Hall No. 2 CD by the Weavers.

MY FISHERMAN, MY LADDIE-O
(Earl Robinson & Waldo Salt)

Where you gonna be when your boat's in port, my fisherman?
Where you gonna be when your boat's in port, my laddie-o?
Where you gonna be when your boat's in port,
When the nights are long, when the days are short?
Will you be with me when the days are short,
My fisherman, my laddie-o, my love?

Where you gonna be when the wind blows raw, my fisherman?
Where you gonna be when the wind blows raw, my laddie-o?
Where you gonna be when the wind blows raw,
When the stove is cold, when the pipe won't thaw?
Who will stir the ashes when the flue won't draw,
My fisherman, my laddie-o, my love?

[bridge]
The summer sun is lazy and lovely
The autumn wind is wild and free.
The summer lover is an autumn rover,
What will the new year bring, my laddie-o?

Where you gonna be when the cold winds blow, my fisherman?
Where you gonna be when the cold winds blow, my laddie-o?
Where you gonna be when the cold winds blow,
When the snow's on the ground and it's ten below,
Will I be alone near the mistletoe,
My fisherman, my laddie-o, my love?

(Recorded by the Weavers, "Reunion at Carnegie Hall, Vol. 2")

I found this on a primitive device - I think it's called a K-sette. I forgot I had any of those. Took me a while to find a machine to play it on.
