Vic in Australia Lyr ADD: The Herring Song (82* d) RE: Lyric:The Herring Song 01 Nov 98

Hey Alan, I'm in Adelaide - whereabouts are you?

I think you're right about the nonsense lines ( a bit like the "whack-fol-do dol lay" in Tim J's version). I'd still like to know what it is she's singing tho'.

Hey Tim, the last fish I caught was a catfish, 25 years ago in the River Murray. Had to pull its hide off with a pair of pliers!

Barbara, Susan - checked out the 25 herring "hits" and no sign of Elizas Herring Song - Tim's got the same basic song, but now I'm hoping Alan can find that other version.

Thanks everyone.......much appreciated.........Vic.
