I'm looking for a song I heard many years ago called, I think, The Moonman, or The Man In The Moon. The chorus had an ending line that went: "Why the Moonman fishes the sea, only the Moonman knows."

Ring a bell for anyone?

Try running a search on DigiTrad and Forum Archives.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen at least one thread on this lovely song here in the past year or two, and I "Harvested" the lyrics from it.
You may find several variations of this piece, as it seems to have "evolved" somewhat, and I don't know how old it is; as I recal it's fairly contemporary - within the last 40 years or so.

Good luck finding the score; ye'd probably do better finding a CD with the track on it and learning it by ear. If you play guitar, it lends itself well to a nice rolling 3/4 fingerpick with plenty of bass runs, IMHO.
