cnd Lyr Req: Going Back to Weldon (Menhaden Chanteymen (21) RE: Lyr Req: Going Back to Weldon (Menhaden Chanteymen 07 May 23


Here's a brief excerpt from Life Magazine, November 19th, 1951, p. 142. Some pictures of the boats and their crews also accompany the verses.

I am goin' back, I am goin' back, I am goin' back to Weldon
Get me a job on the railroad line.
Captain if you fire me, fire me, fire me,
Captain you gotta fire my buddy too.

Captain don't you see that dark cloud risin' over yonder?
Captain don't you see that dark cloud risin' over yonder?
Lord, Lord, it's a sign of rain
Lord, Lord, it's a sign of rain
