| Lyrics: | Feller from Fortune
Oh, there's lots of fish in Bonavist' harbour,
Lots of fish
right in around here'
Boys and girls are fishin' together'
Forty-five from
Carbonear.
cho: Oh, catch-a-hold this one, catch-a-hold that one
Swing around
this one, swing around she;
Dance around this one, dance around that one
Diddle-dum this one, diddle-dum dee.
Oh, Sally is the pride of Cat Harbour,
Ain't
been swung since last year,
Drinkin' rum and wine and cassis
What the boys brought home
from St Pierre.
Oh, Sally goes to church every Sunday
Not for to sing nor for to
hear,
But to see the feller from Fortune
What was down here fishin' the year
.
Oh, Sally's got a bouncin' new baby,
Father said that he didn't care,
'Cause
she got that from the feller from Fortune
What was down here fishin' the year.
Oh,
Uncle George got up in the mornin',
He got up in an 'ell of a tear
And he ripped the arse
right out of his britches
Now he's got ne'er pair to wear.
Oh, there's lots of fish
in Bonavist' Harbour,
Lots of fishermen in around here;
Swing your partner, Jimmy Joe
Jacobs,
I'II be home in the spring of the year.
