Hi All
specially Sue. Sue we're starting to look at material for next season & I remember you singing a song you'd written by this name. Any chance of the words and the spots please?
Cheers,
Doxy

If this is the song I think you might like to visit Dave Evardson Website

His recording of the song is available, "One More Trip" from Grimsby Audio Arts GAA 01/02 CD

Of course I may be barking up the wrong tree, and there are two songs, but the above is worth checking out anyway. This one is about a range of superstitions relating to the trawling trade from the Humber.

Try these:

NEVER TELL A TRAWLERMAN GOODBYE
(One More Trip - Dave & Julie Evardson CD)
D Evardson

As he stops and rests his kitbag at the door,
In the stillness while his taxi's standing by.
You can say see you next trip, love nothing more,
But you never tell a trawlerman goodbye

It's hard to face an icy winter's morning,
When he's off to brave an Arctic sea and sky.
You embrace him while he's shivering and yawning,
But you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.

When the Humber takes his trawler out to sea,
When you see him off you do it silently.
With a smile, a kiss, a cuddle and a sigh,
But you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.

The day he sails can't be your washing day,
You will have to put it off however dry.
There's a danger you'd be washing him away,
And you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.

Don't think about the dangers of the trawling,
He's got to go so keep your chin up high.
He doesn't need to see your teardrops falling,
So you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.
Chorus

There's only one goodbye for trawlermen,
Don't speak or let him see it in your eye.
Say a silent prayer he'll come back safe again,
But you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.

When the Humber takes his trawler out to sea,
When you see him off you do it silently.
With a smile, a kiss, a cuddle and a sigh,
But you never tell a trawlerman goodbye.

Hi All,
we lost track of this thread as we've had rather a hectic time. Just a quick line to say thanks, that was the song I was looking for,
Cheers,
Doxy,

PS don't suppose any one has a midi of the melody?

Doxy - buy the CD. Dave and Julie will appreciate it, I'm certain, and it would be a small 'thanks' to them for creating the song for you to borrow. :-)
