Thread Name: Lyr Req: Fisherman's Lassie (from Isla St. Clair)
Subject: Fisherman's Lassie
I'm seeking lyrics to two songs: Fisherman's Lassie and An Irishman is Shy.

Fisherman's Lassie starts out:

I'm a ramalin' tamalin' fa la doo ma dee
I'm a ramalin' tamalin' lassie
I'm a ramalin' tamalin' fa la doo ma dee
And they call me the fisherman's lassie

The something like..

Well, my Johnny he's a fisherman
You'll ne'er find anyone bolder
and something about straps across his shoulders

An Irishman is Shy, the chorus goes:

Ah, me, fiddle dee diddle dee dee
When it comes to marrying an Irishman is shy

Anybody have these song lyrics and could share??

Thanks, Rose
