Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Gutcher Date: 12 Jul 18 - 09:12 AM From the back o beyont 70yrs. and more ago:-- Way down upon a Swanee river Whaur aa fell in Tryin tae catch wee Baggie Minnows Wey a condensed milk tin. O the lassies roared and laughed Et me faa"n in Way down upon a Swanee river Wey maa condensed milk tin. We always kept a trout in the well to eat any insects that fell in, when this trout needed to be replaced we would guddle for a replacement in the burn. A verse from the old bothy ballad, Carnwath Mill, {we did have a few bothy ballads in Southern Scotland} runs:-- Aa slipit maa haun doon the neck o her goon Jist tae gie her bit paps a kittle Man she writhed an riggled an pretended tae swoon Jist like a troot that ye"d newlie guddled. Ah days of youth how sweet are ye But ye ne"er return again. |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Jim Carroll Date: 12 Jul 18 - 01:18 AM I once came across a book made up of fishing songs, not being interested in the subject, I didn't bother - in hindsight, I regret that decision bitterly I see from a quick search that it is still available as a facsimile reprint from 'The Book Depository at the very reasonable price of about £15 sterling, made more attractive by the fact that the Book Depository doesn't charge for postage and packing Title A Fisher's Garland" : Being a Collection of Some Sangs O the Fishin, Newcassel Sangs, the Fishin' Club Sangs, and Other Verse (1905) Jim Carroll |

Subject: Lyr Add: CATFISH (from Chris Smither) From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Jul 18 - 11:49 PM There are 2 lines missing from the version posted by Frankie back on 31-Mar-2000 (which apparently got copied into the DT). CATFISH As recorded by Chris Smither on "Another Way to Find You" (1992) You know I'm standin' by the water, just starin' at the stream. Tell me, honey: are there any catfish in your dreams? Well, catfish ain't expensive, boy, neither is it free. Child, some folks crazy 'bout 'em, others have to leave it be. You walk down to the bank so you can flash your bait. You lookin' for a catfish, child, you ain't got long, you ain't got long to wait. Boy, catfish got whiskers and a sweet little grin, But you never can tell where a catfish has been. Suckers and bullheads never will do. That ol' catfish will show you a thing or two. You walk down to the bank so you can flash your bait. You lookin' for a catfish, child, you ain't got long to wait. Boy, I'll be your catfish, honey, any ol' time. You just call out my name an' darlin' drop me your line, 'Cause I'm standin' by the water just starin' at the stream. Boy, tell me, honey, are there any catfish in your, catfish in your, catfish in your dreams? |

Don't come anybody, don't come near, I'm just afraid that the fish might hear. He thinks I'm playing with a piece of string. He thinks I'm another sort of, funny sort of thing. But he doesn't know I'm Fishing. He doesn't know I'm fishing.( sung quietly) That's what I'm doing.( sung quietly) Fishing1 |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: GUEST,mg Date: 14 May 15 - 09:03 PM we are putting out in a couple of weeks a lovely collection of songs all about salmon. Most are about fishing but not all. 20 songs for $10 plus shipping US. Plus there's more. This is called spring run. Hopefully by labor day will be another 15-20 songs, called fall run. I think lovers of salmon lore will really like this...and folklorists, historians, lovers of maritime music will too...just pm me if interested. |

Subject: Lyr Add: FISHERMAN'S LUCK (from Dixon Brothers) From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 May 15 - 04:09 PM You can hear this on YouTube: FISHERMAN'S LUCK As sung by The Dixon Brothers, 1937. One day I went a-fishin' and I used a frog for bait. I slung it in the water and I pulled me out a snake. I had me a bottle o' moonshine to keep me feeling right. You should have been a-watchin'; well, it was an awful sight. I pulled his mouth wide open and I poured some whiskey in, And then I turned that snake a-loose and I used my frog again. I caught me a great big jackfish, but one thing I did hate: That doggone greedy pounder(?) had gobbled down my bait. I then got busy thinking, and I got to feeling blue. I could not find another frog and I didn't know what to do. I soon got tired of thinking and I leaned against a tree. I was calmly smoking when something come to me. It touched me on the shoulder; I looked around to see, That doggone water rattler had come to trade with me. Frogs I think a dozen, he brought them to the bank, There where I was a-fishin', to trade them in for drink. The frogs was all around me; the snake coiled(?) on the ground. He smiled and winked his eye at me and he drank my whiskey down. Now this will end my story; that rattler headed south. He crawled away so happy with my bottle in his mouth. Spotify has recordings by— Mike Seeger on "Old Time Country Music" (1962) Roy Harper & Johnny Beller on "Memphis Music & Heritage Festival: Live 1989 Highlights" (There are other songs with the same title.) |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Alan Day Date: 14 Apr 10 - 01:56 PM A little tune called "The Fishy Fishing Story" I used to play on my wind up gramophone as a little boy The tune started I once went a fishing and I caught a little fish, so small you couldn't see it on the dish. But my Wife was rather proud of it and told a lady friend That was the beginning just now listen to the end Sadly that's all I can remember but the fish got so big as it was passed around it ended up that he was eaten by a shark. I lost the record and I would love to know the rest of the story.Perhaps if it does not turn up I should write an ending. Al |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Artful Codger Date: 13 Apr 10 - 07:29 PM The Blind Man's Song—more of a courting song, but the first verse has a fishing theme. There's a song from the early 1830's called (IIRC) "When We Were Going Fishing", set to the tune now familiarly known as "The King of the Cannibal Islands". It was written as a sequel to a song called "Going Out a-Shooting" (to the same tune, and a better song, IMO). Both can be found at the Lester S. Levy site. |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Big Jim from Jackson Date: 24 Apr 06 - 07:07 PM One of the most audience pleasing songs I've ever heard is a song on one of Seamus Kennedy's CD's called "Fishin' For Chickens". Most of the audience will disolve in laughter. Great Song. On the serious side, Australia's John Williamson's song "Boyhood Story" is a very moving song and one of my favorites of all the songs he does. For those of you who are not familiar with John's recordings, you are missing a real treat. Find him on line and order a few CD's---they are all good. The above song can be found on the album "Old Man Emu". |

Subject: Fishing Songs - Brad Paisley From: Genie Date: 23 Apr 06 - 04:19 PM Brad Paisley has a song about fishing which has been popular on country stations. He did it on Prairie Home Companion last week. (DK if that was a rerun or not.) There is a video for it too, which you can see on CMT. The verse is about how his wife chews him out for spending too much time fishing and not paying enough attention to her, so she gives him an ultimatum: Fishing or me? The chorus begins: "I'm gonna miss her ... and ends "Hey, looky there. I've got a bite." ;-D |

Subject: RE: Help: Know Any Fishing Songs??? From: Scotus Date: 02 May 05 - 10:52 AM and of course there's 'Up and Awa' wi' the Laverock' by Andy Hunter - recorded by him (accompanied by me), Lizzie Higgins and Heather Heywood. It's a fine song about fishing for trout and then cooking them on the campfire. The tune is the 'Jig of Slurs'. Also John Watt's tongue in cheek 'Kentucky Saturday Night' with its chorus line - 'When the catfish rise, aint no surprise, on Kentucky saturday night'(we frequently tell him that catfish are bottom feeders,BTW).

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: Genie Date: 15 Sep 02 - 03:44 AM There are also some Hawaiian songs that mention fish/fishing. "My Little Grass Shack In Kealakekua, Hawaii" ends with the line, "...Where the humu humu nuku nuku apua'a goes swimming by." (That is the state fish of Hawaii.) "Hukilau" has the line, "...We'll throw our nets out in the sea, And all the hama hama come a-swimming to me." I think "hama hama" is Hawaiian for "fish." Genie |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: Genie Date: 15 Sep 02 - 03:37 AM Correction: "Curimaõ" is Brazilian, I think. The language is, of course, Portugese.
Spaw, you forgot these classic fish songs: Genie And for a real song about fish (and seafood), how about "Jambalaya?" (..."Settle down far from town, buy me a pirogue, And I'll catch all the fish in the Bayou..."). |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE BOLD FISHERMAN From: GUEST,Bman Date: 14 Sep 02 - 11:35 PM As mentioned above, "THE BOLD FISHERMAN." THE BOLD FISHERMAN There was a bold fisherman was outbound from Halifax To catch the wild codfish and the bold mackeroo, But when he got to Pimlico, the stormy winds begin to blow, And his little boat went wibble-wobble and overboard went he.
CHORUS
He wriggled and he jiggled in the water so briny-o.
His ghost walked at midnight by the bedside of his Mary Jane.
I have no earthly idea where I learned this song. It would have been sometime about 1970 or a bit later. I was astounded to find that Humphrey Bogart begins singing this one at the very end of "African Queen," when he's in the water swimming with Katherine Hepburn. He gets out a line or two before the movie ends. The song has a very upbeat, sprightly tune and rhythm, and when I sing it, I introduce it as the jolliest song about death and insanity I know. |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: Genie Date: 14 Sep 02 - 08:50 PM Mbo, "I lobster and never flounder...". Grrrroannnnn! (Where are those rotten tomatoes when you need 'em?) That's almost as bad as Spaw's song titles. Some other fishing-related songs that come to mind are: Skinny Minnie Fishtail - novelty song about a fisherman who catches a mermaid (sung by Teresa Brewer in the 1950s) Shrimp Boats (sung by Jo Stafford in the 1950s) Curimaõ (sp?) - Portugese fishing song recorded by the Limeliters Los Pescadores (sp?) - sung (written by?) Buffy St. Marie Black Water (Doobie Brothers -- mentions catfish jumping) Blue Bayou (...Where there's fishing boats with their sails afloat ...) Catfish John -- wonderful song The Lobster (Or The Crayfish) - several versions in the DT and forum Three Little Fishies (Fee Widdo Fiddies) was a big hit for Kay Kyser and his band in the mid 1930s. The first chorus is the "boop, boop, diddum, dattum, wottum, shoo." The ensuing choruses get sillier and sillier, until the last one is pure sound effects. It's worth looking up a tape of the Kyser version. Then, of course, many sea chanties specifically refer to fishing, either for whales or for other prey. Genie

Sorry, don't have all the words, but here's a fragment: Well i wish, i wish i was a catfish swimming in the deep blue sea. I'd have all you handsome men come fishin' after me. |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: GUEST,chanteyranger Date: 30 Apr 00 - 05:31 AM A few people mentioned Shoals of Herring. It's a beautiful song. Louis Killen has recorded it on his 1995 cd/tape Sailors, Ships and Chanteys, and can be heard singing it live on the tape Music From San Francisco's 1994 Festival of the Sea. I'm not sure, but I think the original radio program "Singing The Fishing," which it was composed for, was released as an album by Folkways and might be in the Library of Congress/Folkways catalogue. |

Subject: Lyr Add: I CAUGHT A KEEPER (Mike Dowling)^^ From: Jim Dixon Date: 28 Apr 00 - 05:49 PM I CAUGHT A KEEPER (Mike Dowling/Pinspotter Music, ASCAP) Well, I been fishin' in the sea of love. I been tryin' to catch the one I been dreamin' of. I guess I caught me four or five, Just enough to keep my hopes alive. I let 'em go 'cause they wouldn't do, But I caught a keeper when I caught you. I caught a keeper when I caught you. Now, when my friends see what I've got, They'll be cruisin' on over to my lucky spot. I tell 'em that's all right by me, There's lots of fish in the deep blue sea. You're my limit and I don't need two. 'Cause I caught a keeper when I caught you. I caught a keeper when I caught you. (Bridge:) On the day I found you, I remember how my motor roared. I put my arms around you, an' I hollered, "Man overboard!" Well, I'm so glad you didn't get away. I'm a-gonna keep you near me night and day. You're the best of the whole darned batch. You're my once-in-a-lifetime catch. But now my fishin' days are through, 'Cause I caught a keeper when I caught you. I caught a keeper when I caught you. (Repeat bridge and last verse.) - - - As sung by Barry & Holly Tashian on "Straw into Gold," Rounder 0332. Also on collection "Hills of Home," Rounder CD AN 16/17. @fishing @love JTD |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: GUEST,Frankie Date: 02 Apr 00 - 08:30 AM ...uuuhhh that should read "repeat first verse" at the end of Catfish, not the chorus. Another song, which is flyfishing specific BTW, is Goin' Fishing With Bill by Greg Brown off the excellent "Friend of Mine" collaboration with Bill Morrisey. It contains the line "...A good fisherman is one who has fun and we will." F |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: Joan Date: 01 Apr 00 - 04:19 PM Couple of composed songs come to mind: "No More Fish, No Fishermen" is Shelley Posen's and I would guess that it's on a Finest Kind CD, but can't tell you which. "Harbors of Home" is mine (Joan Sprung) and is on a Gordon Bok/Ed Trickett/Annie Mayo Muir CD of the same name. Joan |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: WyoWoman Date: 01 Apr 00 - 03:22 AM Frankie, thanks. I'll check that out (tchotchkes = peripherals = gear = all that stuff that fills out your tackle box). Beanster -- you're right, I do have enough songs for years. But... we don't have sock-eye here, that I know of. We have lots and lots of rainbow trout (a friend just caught a 19-incher day before yesterday) and walleye and brown trout. No catfish either. but last fall a couple of guys were pulling trout out of the river behind my house about as fast as they could cast. So I know they're there... ww |

Subject: Lyr Add: Catfish^^ From: GUEST,Frankie Date: 31 Mar 00 - 11:31 PM Chris Smither does a bluesy version of Danny O'Keefe's Catish on his Another Way to Find You CD. The words go (hope I get this right):
Standing by the water, staring at the stream
Catfish ain't expensive and neither is it free,
Catfish got whiskers and a sweet little grin,
I'll be your catfish honey any old time, Cause I'm standin' by the water...(repeat chorus) WW, I do a bit of fly fishing and get a lot of my tchotchkes(?) from Hook and Hackle's website at very reasonable prices. And for inspiration lately I've been reading Tom McGuane's "The Longest Silence", a collection of his fishing stories. Frankie |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: fox4zero Date: 30 Mar 00 - 06:22 PM I just remembered the song call "Three Little Fishies" It was song in baby-talk...This was a late 30's or early 40's song. Down by the river in an itty bitty pool Lived three little fishies and a mommy fishie too. "Swim" said the mommy fishie "Swim if you can" And they swam and they swam All over the dam. Chorus: Bum bum dittem dottem wannem CHOO * Bum bum diddem dottem wannem CHOO Bum bum dittem dottem wannnem CHOO And they swam and they swam all over the dam. * CHOO was done like a sneeze, as in kerchoo!

Subject: Lyr Add: BIGGER FISH TO FRY (Woodson/Compton...)^^ From: GUEST,Jim Dixon Date: 30 Mar 00 - 12:12 PM (I'VE GOT) BIGGER FISH TO FRY Lyrics Tim Woodson, Music Tim Woodson, Rob Compton, Pat Stevenson © 1995 Sittin' on the bank of that muddy Mississippi, watchin' that river roll by. Got my cane pole up the air, got my bobber throwed way out there. Gonna catch a big catfish to fry. Sittin' on my bucket, got my cooler by my side Got a big ol' can of worms and a bottle of home made wine. Ain't had a bite in a while, but Lord that's just fine. Gonna watch that sun go down and drink that home made wine. Chorus: Lord it don't get no better than this. Sittin' on that riverbank, gonna catch me a big old fish. Lord if you take me, don't take me tonight. Cause I got a big one on the line. Cane pole hit the water, and I dropped that bottle of wine. Fell off my bucket tryin' to reel in that line. Lord it's a big one, could be the biggest of all time. Don't you know before I pulled him in, that big fish snapped my line? Chorus Recorded by Wildhorse Creek. JTD |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: fox4zero Date: 30 Mar 00 - 02:16 AM "Small Fry" was a hot item in the late 1930's which I had thought was a Bing Crosby number. I didn't see it on the Crosby website. "Small fry, swim in shallow waters Small fry, ?????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea". The ??????? represent "senior moments" which frequently stretch into hours, days, weeks etc. Luv, Larry Parish

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: WyoWoman Date: 30 Mar 00 - 12:27 AM Thanks for all these suggestions, y'all. Of course, being an editor-type person, I actually spelled fishing with a "g" when I searched the Forum, so I missed the previous thread. Silly moi. WW |

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: raredance Date: 29 Mar 00 - 09:48 PM I was recently in a Minneapolis vinyl emporium and encountered ( and could not pass up) a classic piece of vinyl from 1985, "Somethin' Fishy" by Dale Menten and the Live Bait Band (Weekend Records WR-101). All of the songs were written by Dale Menten (Underbubble Muisc) and it came with a lyric sheet. In the fine print on the back of the dust jacket is the following: "WARNING - All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws. And if you promise not to pirate this record, I, Dale Menten promise to show you where the fish are. Honest" The songs are: Somethin' Fishy; Five-Foot Waves; Mr. All-Science Fisherman; The One That Got Away; Pass It On; Draggin' On The Bottom; Fishin' On Your Mind; Boat Butt; Fishin' Slow. Did you notice how all these fisherpeople disdain the use of the letter "g" at the end of a word? Is it peculiar to the freshwater folk, or maybe the freshwater folk are just more peculiar? Somethin' to think about rather than questionin' my sanity for buyin' all them fishin' recordin's. rich r

Subject: RE: Help: KNOW ANY FISHING SONGS??? From: raredance Date: 29 Mar 00 - 09:26 PM Ah I falsely anticipated the false rhyme in Walleye- "Shinder" should be "shiners" [fixed it] In 1994 an outfit called Fish Head Productions released a compilation of fishing songs called "Goin' Fishin', The Greatest Fishing Songs Ever (15 Classic country & Novelty Catches)" The cassette I picked up around then is Sony Music Special Products BT24567/FHP CA 0494. It may also exist as a CD. What follows are the title and artist listings. Some of the songs have been mentioned in this and the previous thread.
Fishin' (Elvin Bishop) The gang at Fish Head Productions claims they had 200 songs from which they chose this 15. Also according to the liner notes, Bobby Bare released a whole album in 1987 called "Bobby Bare Sings Fishin' Songs" rich r |

And you see the little fishies swimmin' up and down the bay With their hands in their pockets and their pockets in their pants And all the little fishies do the hoochy-koochy dance! Have you ever been a-fishin' on a hot and sunny day and you're sittin' on a rail, and the rail gave way And a nail in the rail tore a hole in your pants And all the little fishies do the hoochy-koochy dance! |

I said just squid and leave me for that piano tuna If you want to trout something new She was the bass I ever had, now my life has no porpoise Oh my cod I love her yes I do Oh I lobster and never flounder He wrapped his line around her And they drove off in his carp Oh I lobster and never flounder I octopus his face in, he'll only break her heart.
