Late one night in the 70's, while babysitting, I heard a song that has stayed with me ever since. I never heard it before, nor since. But I still sing bits of it. Can anyone tell me who sang it or even better, gave me the rest of the lyrics! It goes like this:
Some say fishing on a Sunday's a sin
I say if the fish are gonna bite on a Sunday I'm gonna pull it in...
Fish, fish, fishing
It was a very laid back song, ballad style. Happy carefree.

Don't think it's Chris Rea - his voice is so distinctive. This guy's voice was definitely easy listening.
As for music style hmmm - think Cocaine by JJ Cale.

That's it! You're a genius! I've just ordered it -check ed it out the audio first - from Amazon. The voice doesn't sound quite like I remember (sounded younger and more gorgeous to me, but it was looong ago!"
You've solved an age old mystery for me and I thank you!

The song is called Fishin' by Elvin Bishop.
You'll be able to buy on Amazon or such-place.
Thanks, can I have my 10 points then please?

"Who'll have a fishy On a little dishy? Who will have a fishy When the boat comes..." And then he says "With our glasses both raised in a toast Let's sing for those in peril on the sea Who cater ceaselessly To thy every wish With every fish As fresh as fish can be You see, I'm into my oysters My king prawns and caviar No matter how far away they are I'll be there!" And then she says, "Now with our glasses both raised in this toast Let's sing for those in peril on the sea Who labour tirelessly In their tiny boats Off John O' Groats Their socks soaked for me You see, I do like my lobster My hake, skate and rainbow trout And if there's a fishy smell about I'll be there! And then And then we'll sing for those in peril on the sea... Don't be frightened Don't be scared Chop off their heads And little legs Then peel away the shell And open up your senses to the smell The sound and colour Touch and taste Of crab, cod, clams and kippers Scampi, squid, sole, shark and scallop Winkles, whelks, whale and whiting Seaweed, swordfish, sardines and sea urchin Haddock, halibut, herrings and eel Cockles, mussels, mackerel and veal Pilchard, plankton, St Peter's fish and plaice Octopussy jellyfishy And dolphin's an aquired taste "Who will have a fishy On a little dishy? I will have a fishy When the boat comes in..."

Chris Rea did a song called 'Going Fishing' - maybe that one!

If I could hear HOW the lyrics you know were sung melodically, I think I can figure out who did it. What year did you hear this one time song? And who's voice do you think it was?
Was it rock, southren rock or country?
