Danny Spooner version: Little Fish
There's a song in my heart for the one I love best
And her picture is tattooed all over my chest
Chorus
Yo ho little fishy don't cry don't cry
Yo ho little fishy don't cry don't cry
Little fish when he's caught he fights like a bull whale
And he thrashes the water with his long narrow tail
There are fish in the sea there ain't no doubt about it
As good as the ones that ever came out of it
Now the crew are asleep and the ocean's at rest
And I'm singing this song for the one I love best
Eric Bogle version: Little Fishy
Now the crew are asleep and the ocean's at rest
And I'm singing this song for the one I love best
Chorus
Yo ho little fishy don't cry don't cry
Yo ho little fishy don't cry don't cry
Little fish when he's caught well he fights like a whale
And he thrashes the water with his long narrow tail
Well the crew are asleep and the weather is fine
And the captain's on deck laying out other lines
Well the crew are asleep and the ocean's at rest
And I'm singing this song for the one I love best
Bandoggs version: Little Fishes
Oh the crew are asleep and the ocean's at rest
And I'm singing this song to the one I love best
Chorus
Hey ho little fishes don't cry don't cry
Hey ho little fishes don't cry don't cry
The ship's underway and the weather is fine
And the skipper's down aft hanging out extra lines
Little fish when he's caught he fights like a bull whale
That thrashes the water with his mighty tail
Oh the crew are asleep and the ocean's at rest
And I'm singing this song to the one I love best
