Nae mare puttin doon yer wallies

Come here ma bonny boy
sit on yur auld papa's knee
for a remember when they fished
fished fur fish in stormy sea

Sit wae me - fur a wee while
listen an a will tell
o a time when men fished
fished fur fish - in foamin fiery sea

Fae this toon - men wid go
tae catch the silver darling
tae fish fur fish
in stormy screamin savage sea

Jist men like me an you
tae go an earn a livin
tae fish fur fish tae put oan dish
fae stormy savage sea.

[linda_j]

now theres nae fish in the sea
so you have to get up at dawn
to go and catch the prawn....

Fish fur dinner

An old Northumbrian folk song,was used as the signature tune for the BBC series,When the boat comes in,which ran from 1976 - 1981

Come here, maw little Jacky,
Now aw've smoked mi backy,
Let's hev a bit o' cracky,
Till the boat comes in.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a fishy when the boat comes in.

Here's thy mother humming,
Like a canny woman;
Yonder comes thy father,
Drunk - he cannot stand.

Chorus:

Our Tommy's always fuddling,
He's so fond of ale,
But he's kind to me,
I hope he'll never fail.

Chorus:

I like a drop mysel',
When I can get it sly,
And thou, my bonny bairn,
Will lik't as well as I.

Chorus:

May we get a drop,
Oft as we stand in need;
And weel may the keel row
That brings the bairns their bread.

Chorus:

I loved watching this programme...

[ionnsaigh]

TV tube tuned
turned towards telly
stunned I sit
watching shit
