The Fish - Craig Herbertson[00:00:00]

Written by：Craig Herbertson[00:00:00]

The Laird John Clerk wis a belted knight[00:00:06]

His keeper cam frae Penicuik[00:00:12]

My brother wis just a fisherman[00:00:18]

Frae Northfield farm in Edinbra[00:00:23]

The Laird John Clerk held a fine estate[00:00:30]

Bonnie fields and bright waters[00:00:36]

Sae widely famed were his deer and game[00:00:42]

The talk o' a' the poachers[00:00:48]

His keeper was a canny man[00:00:54]

Guid guardian fir his masters'[00:01:00]

On the salmon run wi his dog and gun[00:01:06]

A dei'l fir the slaughter[00:01:12]

My brother Keith wis a gallous lad[00:01:18]

And dearly loved the poaching[00:01:24]

Wi his rod and reel he gang aft to steal[00:01:30]

A fish frae Clerkie's waters[00:01:35]

In the dark o night in pale moonlight[00:01:48]

My brother watched the waters[00:01:53]

Oe'r the croaking frogs came the bark o dogs[00:01:59]

And the keeper there behind them[00:02:05]

And it's under moon and ower muir[00:02:12]

Tae Northfield farm frae Penicuik[00:02:18]

Wi his belt and knife he'd tae run fir his life[00:02:23]

To dodge auld Clerkie's keeper[00:02:29]

A' through the night he ran and hid[00:02:35]

But the keeper could'na catch him[00:02:41]

And he lost his gear by the ruined weir[00:02:48]

His rod an a' his tackle[00:02:53]

But in the light he saw a fish[00:03:00]

A salmon in bright water[00:03:05]

Wi nae rod and reel just a guddlers feel[00:03:11]

He threw her frae the water[00:03:17]

And it's ower hills and far awa[00:03:30]

Frae Penicuik through Duddingston[00:03:35]

Wi a heart so blithe fir tae run fir his life[00:03:41]

And dodge auld Clerkie's keeper[00:03:48]

Now the lady Nairn had a canny cook[00:03:54]

A chancer for a bargain[00:03:59]

And he boucht the fish for auld Clerkie's dish[00:04:05]

And nane tae be the wiser[00:04:11]

Auld John Clerk he got his fish[00:04:18]

His keeper got the tackle[00:04:24]

The cook got mair than a gillie's share[00:04:30]

But my brother got the better[00:04:35]

And his rod and reel field and stream[00:04:42]

Mair midges ower the water[00:04:48]

Let others seek where the salmon leap[00:04:53]

My brother wis a fisherman[00:05:00]
