FELLER FROM FORTUNE – Traditional

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.

Chorus: 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 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;
Because he liked feller from Fortune, what was down here fishin' last year.

Oh, Uncle George got up in the mornin', he got up in an fell of a tear;
Ripped the rear right out of his trousers, now he's got nar pair to wear.

There's lots of fish in Bonavist' harbour, lots of fish right in around here;
Swing your partner, Jimmy Joe Jacobs, I'II be home in the spring of the year.
