Lyrics

Good people give me your attention 
And a short song I'll sing unto you
 About all our Bay Bulls Fishermen 
And about all the queer things they do

There's Gordon O’Driscoll and Junior 
They're eatin' their fish and fat pork 
But the man who knows where all the fish goes
Is Spinney the boy from New York  

They're haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' 
Their hand lines and cod traps and trawls 
Haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' fish 
From the springtime right up till the fall

There's Billy and Dougie and Gordie 
And Harley and Ken in their skiff 
They're waving their hands to the folks on the land 
They're the Bunkers who live on the cliff

The rookies don't talk to each other 
Alan’s up in Irishtown 
Gerard is away down in Placentia Bay 
Charle feeds the fish at the fish farm

They're haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' 
Their hand lines and cod traps and trawls 
Haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' fish 
From the springtime right up till the fall

There's Harry and Chris down the harbour 
And Kenny and Anthony Drew 
And Gene and Ray are startin' their day
 Every morning at quarter past two

There's Gerald and Johnny Mulcahy 
The odd couple that's what they're called 
Gerald he steers and Johnny drinks beers 
That's all and, that's all and, that's all

They're haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' 
Their hand lines and cod traps and trawls 
Haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' fish 
From the springtime right up till the fall

There's Cyril and Stan the Mulcahys
 And Tom Ryan's who’s tellin’ tall tales 
And Paddy O’Dea is dancin' away 
And the tourists are out watching whales

Some fishermen in our harbour 
Don't fish with a hook nor a line 
But they're haulin' it in
With a song and a grin 
The Gatheralls and the O’Briens

They're haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' 
Their hand lines and cod traps and trawls 
Haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' fish 
From the springtime right up till the fall

So, here's to the boys in our harbour 
We're raising our glasses to you 
We hope and we pray that every day 
Will be a good one for you

They're haulin' and pullin' and jiggin'
 Their hand lines and cod traps and trawls 
Haulin' and pullin' and jiggin' fish 
From the springtime right up till the fall
