He could not remember it all, but I got this .THE BOY FROM FOGO. My sister Kate goes to church on sunday, she don't go for what she is. She goes to see the boy from fogo, that was fishing down here last year. My sister Kate has a 4Ft waistline, and it stretches out to here, Its all through the boy from Fogo who was fishing down here last year. Probably not in the right order. ANYONE know any more thanks again. OOMBANJO. |

Talked with Gerald Freake about your inquiry of "the Boy from Fogo"...He's never heard of the song tho it may be a local rendition of "the Fellow From Fortune"....The wording takes the same pattern... In the meantime,I tried a few of the locals here on Fogo Island and they've never heard of it,tho they will ask around... |
