FISH SONG
Nobody knows da trouble I’ve seen
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows da trouble I’ve seen
Lordy lordy lord.
Nobody now knows nothing
No stuff
No junk
No words of my life
No secrets
No nothing that moves or shakes me.
What is my life but a sad tale
Of fish flying
And maybe a whale
Nobody knows the trouble
Nobody’s now my girl
Rhubarb and roses
Fly away home.
