GUEST,barry Songs About Fishing (61* d) RE: SONGS ABOUT FISHING 04 Feb 04

Mike Seegar recorded a comic song about a fisherman, moonshine, and a snake that traded frogs for moonshine. Forget the title tho.

For Greenland Whale Fishery the Waterson's version is great. In this version the captain is not the 'fine little man' as I've heard it sung in the US, but a 'sod of a man', who regretted losing the whale awhole lot more than losing the shipmates.

And Hi Henry thomas first recorded Fishing Blues.

I think Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong did a tune called Gone Fishin'.
