Lyr Req: Goodbye to the sea

This was sung at a folk club in Yorkshire, not sure who by, but it sounded good.
Maybe a song performed at some time by Derek Gifford, by himself or His Worship and the Pig. I believe it refers to Cornish fishermen.
Can you help please
Dennis

Goodbye to the sea was written by His worship and the Pig , though I'm not certain which one of them, and recorded by Derek Gifford. Its a great song,

There's a lump in my throat
Cos I'm burning my boat
And I'm saying goodbye to the sea

It would certainly be worth buying a CD

Thanks Nutty and Mick
Very quick response, is it a record?
I'm going to Whitby at the week end thought it may go down well!

No ..Denn. Not a record - in fact it was pretty slow by Mudcat standards
