The Squid Jigger's Song (Remastered)
(Verse 1) Now gather 'round ye fellas, and listen to my song 'Bout a place that's near and dear, where we all belong It ain't no fancy city, no bright lights or big parade Just a patch of ocean where a livin' can be made (Chorus) Squid jiggin' ground, squid jiggin' ground Where the jiggers fly and the squirts go 'round Boots and oilskins, Cape Anns battened tight Gonna jig 'em all day, and jig 'em all night! (Verse 2) Out from the Harbour, and out from the Tickle In motorboats green, grey, and brown, that sure can wriggle Old Skipper John Chaffey, he's a hand I'll be bound The best darn squid jigger on the whole jiggin' ground! (Chorus) Squid jiggin' ground, squid jiggin' ground Where the jiggers fly and the squirts go 'round Boots and oilskins, Cape Anns battened tight Gonna jig 'em all day, and jig 'em all night! (Verse 3) Old Jacob Steele, with whiskers white as snow Says he's gettin' well up, but still got a ways to go And Uncle Bob Hawkins, wears socks up to his knees Keeps him warm and cozy in the salty breeze! (Chorus) Squid jiggin' ground, squid jiggin' ground Where the jiggers fly and the squirts go 'round Boots and oilskins, Cape Anns battened tight Gonna jig 'em all day, and jig 'em all night! (Verse 4) Now Bobby's a-jiggin', says the squid are comin' fast Got his jigger down a fathom, gonna make this haul his last But a squid shot ink, right down his throat, you see Now he's cussin' and a-chokin' for all eternity! (Chorus) Squid jiggin' ground, squid jiggin' ground Where the jiggers fly and the squirts go 'round Boots and oilskins, Cape Anns battened tight Gonna jig 'em all day, and jig 'em all night! Squid juice flyin', every which-a-way Get it in your hair, you'll smell it for a day! Skipper got it, right square in the eye But he don't give a darn, just lets out a cry! (Chorus) Squid jiggin' ground, squid jiggin' ground Where the jiggers fly and the squirts go 'round Boots and oilskins, Cape Anns battened tight Gonna jig 'em all day, and jig 'em all night! (Outro) So leave your fancy clothes, back there in the town Come on out to the grounds, where the real fun is found We'll jig for squid, 'til the day is done On the squid jiggin' ground, for everyone!
