GUEST,Cockney Colin Lyr Req: The Crab Song (from McLynns of Sligo) (8) Lyr Req: The Crab Song 14 Nov 25


I am looking for the lyrics of "The Crab Song". I have tried searching on the internet but the songs that are suggested are not what I am looking for. It was sung by an Irish Group from Sligo called The McLynns on their LP "Old Market Street". The sleeves notes say the song was given to them by "Coney Islander, Katie Haran. The McLynns were siblings, Donal, Paul and Barbara and the family ran a pub called Mclynns Bar in Old Market Street, Sligo.
I think the chorus starts "Crabs are east and crabs are west, and crabs are in the bay.
Anyone familiar with it?
Thanks
Colin
