21 Jan 09 - 05:40 PM (#2545432) Subject: ADD: Fisherman's Wharf (Stan Rogers?) From: Roger in Baltimore Fidjit, Is this what you are looking for? Fisherman's Wharf It was in the spring this year of grace with new life pushing through That I looked from the Citadel down to the Narrows and asked what it's coming to. I saw Upper Canadian concrete and glass right down to the water line, And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf. Can I sing it just one time? With half-closed eyes against the sun, for the warm wind giving thanks, I dreamed of the years of the deep-laden schooners thrashing home from the Grand Banks. The last lies done in the harbour sun with her picture on a dime, But I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf, Can I sing it just one time? Can I sing it just one time? CHORUS: Then haul away and heave her home. This song is heard no more No boats to sing it for. No sails to sing it for. There rises now a single tide of tourists passing through. We traded old ways for the new, old ways for the new, Old ways for the new, for the new. Now you ask "What's this romantic boy who laments what's done and gone? There was no romance on a cold winter ocean and the gales sang an awful song." But my fathers knew of wind and tide and my blood is maritime, And I heard an old song down on Fisherman's Wharf. Can I sing it just one time? Can I sing it Just one time? CHORUS (Repeat 1st verse) This was all I found on a quick Google search. Also another song about "tiny fish to Japan". Roger in Baltimore |

(We were living only a few blocks away from the concrete and glass in question at the time). |

22 Jan 09 - 05:50 AM (#2545853) Subject: RE: Stan Rogers Songs From: Terry McDonald Not really a Stan Rogers' song in that the lyrics are by the Victorian author (of The Water Babies) Charles Kingsley. Presumably the melody is Stan's? |

22 Jan 09 - 07:51 AM (#2545933) Subject: RE: Stan Rogers Songs From: Backwoodsman Didn't Garnet write the tune to 'Three Fishers'? Nathan also does a great version on his CD. And I also do it, but not as well as Rogers & Son! :-)
