Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Fish Song Lyrics

Sat here by this stony brook until the grey day turned to dust When up swam a fish with a children’s book thought that I was lost. He was on his way to the salmon hop, that’s where they go to breed Saw me sitting on this log and thought I’d like to read. The night was cloudy but the moon he found a hole Said that he felt bad for me cause I had no place to go Why aren’t you at the harvest ball with some sweet young gal You just sit like a bump on the log and call that fish your pal. Well, I told him I was an orphan lived here all alone But many people have often tried to catch and take me home They never caught me! Thought that I was a hiding, call this log my home But the fish and the moon and a sweet young gal All want me for their own. The night was cloudy but the moon he found a hole Said that he felt bad for me cause I had no place to go So I met that gal at the harvest ball, she took me to her room While I slept in children’s dreams, the fish ran away with the moon. The fish ran away with the moon The fish ran away with the moon. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Lyrics Fish Song Lyrics
