From: GUEST,andrewobrien@roadrunner.nf.net [Obstructed by applause] off to the hunt And away I did straddle to look for me punt And every straddle I made it so fair Saying this is the summer we'll all get out share. We left the stage head, and we set ourselves straight With a flashing fine breeze and a tub of fresh bait With a flashing fine mainsail, and a full-flying jib With a crooked ole punt, sure she sails like a squid. She ? like a rigger, she likes the big lop When our skipper Harry, he heard a fish jump It was off through the sinkers we came through so fair It was over out isle, by's, there's neither one here. So we'll go out forward, and we'll have a look 'round For I heard there's some small fish out on the shoal ground Sure we hauled up our ?, b'ys sure the wind it ? South We dipped in out oars, sayin' how fast she goes now. Skipper Tom, he laid down on the broad of his back 'Tween sleepin' and wakein' he heard his line crack Now young skipper Harry better pull in the slack For when he breaks water, I'll jump on his back. The fish he broke water with a wonderful dash, And out of his mouth, sure the hook it did smash Skipper Harry looked forward with a wonderful frown How hard he came up, but how light he went down In the sweet month of August where the ? been plum We had a deep puncheon chock full to the bung Oh women, oh women, you may get your wish You can say what you like we're three (devils for fish) |

From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca There are several places you have typed out and I am guessing it should be our. Is this correct? Perhaps you might go through it and make corrections in case we're searching based on words which are incorrect? |
