Sam Small were fishing in canal [00:00:05]

Twixt Manchester and Sale [00:00:08]

He hadn't had a bite all day [00:00:10]

And nought to sup but ale [00:00:12]

Then all at once his fishing line [00:00:14]

Went rushing out like mad [00:00:16]

By gum cried Sam I've got a bite [00:00:18]

So by gum he'ad [00:00:21]

He tugged and tugged and better tugged [00:00:24]

His line it rose and sank [00:00:27]

Then fish gave one last dying gasp [00:00:29]

And dropped stone dead on t'bank [00:00:32]

Then a policeman bustled up [00:00:36]

On feet both large and flat [00:00:38]

He looked at Sam he looked at fish [00:00:40]

And saidEe who done that [00:00:43]

It's just a sort of fish said Sam [00:00:47]

I'm taking home to tea [00:00:49]

Tha's not said policeman That tha's not [00:00:52]

It don't belong to thee [00:00:54]

It's what they call a Sturgeon Sam [00:00:56]

That fish belongs to King [00:00:59]

So take it up the Palace lad [00:01:02]

As fast as anything [00:01:04]

Sam stooped and picked the Sturgeon up [00:01:06]

Well knowing who was boss [00:01:09]

And ran to station where he bought [00:01:11]

Two tickets for King's Cross [00:01:13]

When Sam reached London Town [00:01:16]

The crowd all raised a cheering cry [00:01:18]

The traffic parted left and right [00:01:22]

To let that Sturgeon by [00:01:24]

The Palace sentry haughty like [00:01:27]

Said What might be your wish [00:01:29]

But when he saw what Sam had brought [00:01:32]

He cried Pass Royal fish [00:01:35]

Sam knocked at door and servant girl [00:01:39]

Said Step inside the hall [00:01:41]

The King and Queen is out says she [00:01:44]

But not for thee Sam Small [00:01:47]

And so with Sturgeon in his arms [00:01:50]

Sam tramped up corridor [00:01:52]

He trailed along some passages [00:01:54]

And knocked at parlour door [00:01:57]

Come in says King So Sam went in [00:01:59]

With Royal fish and all [00:02:03]

Why dash me buttons cries the King [00:02:05]

If it isn't old Sam Small [00:02:08]

That's me said Sam and ere's a fish [00:02:11]

Our policeman said were thine [00:02:14]

A Sturgeon caught in Ship Canal [00:02:16]

With rod and hook and line [00:02:19]

Well well said King come sit thee down [00:02:21]

That must be fair done up [00:02:25]

We just were going to have us teas [00:02:28]

That'll stay and have a cup [00:02:30]

Thanks King said Sam and takes a seat [00:02:33]

With fish upon his knee [00:02:35]

Nay put that thing on sofa Sam [00:02:37]

Says King And have thy tea [00:02:40]

Now what about this fish asks Sam [00:02:44]

But King he whispers low [00:02:46]

I'm going to tell thee something Sam [00:02:49]

But don't let policeman know [00:02:52]

I hate to show ingratitude [00:02:55]

And please don't think me mean [00:02:57]

But I never did like Sturgeon Sam [00:02:59]

Nor come to that does Queen [00:03:03]

To eat the stuff we hate so much [00:03:05]

Well Sam we find it hard [00:03:08]

So we hand em to the Chamberlain [00:03:10]

Who stacks them in back yard [00:03:12]

Just thee look out that window Sam [00:03:15]

And see where t'Sturgeons go [00:03:17]

Sam looked at yard and saw e'm all [00:03:20]

In thousands in a row [00:03:23]

It's champion seeing thee again [00:03:26]

But Sam twixt me and thee [00:03:29]

I can't stand Sturgeons [00:03:32]

But I love a kipper to me tea [00:03:34]

Now fancy that says Sam by gum [00:03:38]

Why them's my favourite fish [00:03:41]

And then the Queen came smiling in [00:03:44]

With kippers on the dish [00:03:47]

Do you know Sam Small my dear says King [00:03:49]

Queen says 'Why yes yes yes [00:03:52]

Just touch the bell and tell our James [00:03:56]

To bring more watercress [00:04:00]

Think on says King when tea were done [00:04:02]

And Sam got up to go [00:04:05]

Kippers is what I like for tea [00:04:08]

But don't let policeman know [00:04:10]

So Sam went home to Lancashire [00:04:14]

And said a silent prayer [00:04:16]

With blessings on the kippered fish [00:04:19]

Long live the Royal Pair[00:04:23]
