The Squid-Jigging Ground
(Traditional)
Oh, this is the place where the fishermen gather,
With oilskins and boots and Cape Anns battened down;
All sizes and figures with squid lines and jiggers,
They congregate here on the squid-jigging ground.
Some are workin' their jiggers while others are yarnin',
There's some standin' up and there's more lyin' down;
While all kinds of fun, jokes, and tricks are begun
As they wait for the squid on the squid-jiggin' ground.
There's men from Bar Harbour and men from the Tickle,
In all kinds of motorboats, green, grey and brown;
There's a red headed Tory out here in a dory
Running down Squires on the squid-jiggin' ground.
The man with the whiskers is old Jacob Steele;
He's gettin well up but he's still pretty sound.
While Uncle Bob Hawkins wears three pair o' stockin's
Whenever he's out on the squid-jiggin' ground.
