Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Champion Jack Dupree 'Fisherman's Blues'
Hi,Dave, I've bought a couple of your CDs and seen you at Caversham skiffle sessions. I'm getting on a bit but not yet as old as the Zimmer Boys!
I've got a partial set of lyrics, echo on the recording, my hearing aid and Jack's speech impediment make it difficult to catch everything. I used to see him at the 100 Club in Oxford St in the '70s when he was living in Yorkshire with his English wife..

Here's my best shot (where are Stewie and Masato when you need them!)

FISHERMAN'S BLUES
(Dupree)
I said Hey Hey baby
Some guy's been fishing in my pond
I said Hey Hey baby
Some guy 's been fishing in my pond
.......?

Well I don't mind him fishin'

Well I don't mind him fishin'

I said hey hey baby
What you want for me to do?
I said hey hey baby

I don't mind him fishin'
But he's got a really great long pole
I don't mind him fishin'
But he got a really great long pole
Every time I find him, lord lord....?

......?
Baby all round the edge of the pond

Baby all around the edge of the pond
I don't want him.....?

Hope someone else can fill the gaps!
