Subject: Lyr Req: 'Lundy Island Jim'
Trying to find lyrics for 'Lundy Island Jim', which I remember being sung around folk-clubs of North Dorset in the late 1990s.
The chorus is something like:
I'm a lowly fisher lad Just landed from the sea Happy as a nightingale singing in a tree As contented as the little fish That in the channel swim Come wet or dry, tis same to I I'm Lundy Island Jim
But I can't remember any verses. Any lyrics (or pointers towards where it's from) would be very appreciated.
