STORM AND COMPANY
GRANGER, TINDALES AND ROBINSON VESSELS
Graingers are known to have gone fishing in
more recent times. Paul Grainger tells a tale which may be found
in the Grainger Group files at
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/graingergroup
and his descriptive lyric "We've all gone fishing" may
also be enjoyed at the foot of this page.

WE'VE ALL GONE FISHING
ITS A DAY TO REMEMBER
A DAY TO RECALL,
THE DAY WE WENT FISHING,
AND WE HAD A BALL,
THE LAMPLIGHTER'S CREW LEFT NO SIGN ON THE DOOR,
WE'VE ALL GONE FISHING
THERE WAS ME AND MY FATHER,
AND HIS BROTHER TOO,
THE SEA WAS SO CALM,
AND THE SKY WAS SO BLUE,
WE ROWED OUT TO LONGSCAR, 'BOUT HALF MILE FROM SHORE,
WE'VE ALL GONE FISHING.
A BOAT FULL OF FISH,
A FACE FULL OF JOY,
A TIME THAT WILL STAY,
WITH A MAN FROM A BOY,
A STORY TO PASS FROM FATHER TO CHILD,
WE'VE ALL GONE FISHING.
MY FATHER AND UNCLE,
HAVE BOTH GONE TO SEA,
ONE DAY I WILL JOIN THEM,
IF THEY'VE SPACE FOR ME,
THE CREW ALTOGETHER AND WEATHER SO MILD,
SO WE'LL ALL GO FISHING.
