Fish Song Lyrics - Dirt, Silver & Gold - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Sat here by this stony brook until the Grey day turned to dust 

When up swam a fish with a children's book thought that I was lost 

He was on his way to the salmon hop, that's where they go to breed 

Saw me sitting on this log and thought I'd like to read 

[Chorus:] 

The night was cloudy but the moon he found a hole 

Said that he felt bad for me cause I had no place to go 

Why aren't you at the harvest ball with some sweet young gal 

You just sit like a bump on the log and call that fish your pal 

Well, I told him I was an orphan lived here all alone 

But many people have often tried to catch and take me home 

They never caught me 

Thought that I was a hiding, call this log my home 

But the fish and the moon and a sweet young gal 

All want me for their own 

[Chorus]

So I met that gal at the harvest ball, she took me to her room 

While I slept in children's dreams, the fish ran away with the moon 

The fish ran away with the moon 

The fish ran away with the moon
