The Squid Jiggin’ Ground Lyrics – Peter Stampfel
Singer: Peter Stampfel
Title: The Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 1〉
So this is the place where they’re fisherman gatherin’
With oil-skins and slickers and the Cape bass batten down
All sizes and figures with squid lines and jiggers
They congregate here on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 2〉
Some are jiggin’ for squid, while others are yarnin’
There’s some standin’ up but there’s more lyin’ down
And all sorts of fun jokes and drinks are begun
As they wait for the squid on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 3〉
There’s men of all agеs and boys in the bargain
There’s old Billy Cavе and there’s young Raymond Brown
There’s Red Rat and Folly out here in his dory
Runnin’ down squires on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 4〉
There’s men from the harbor and men from the tickle
And all kinds of motor-boats, green, gray and brown
There’s old Bobby and with him is Nobby
He’s chawin’ hard tack on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 5〉
Well bless my soul Esther, there’s Old Captain West
He’s the best hand at squid jiggin’ here, I’ll be bound
Hello, what’s the row? Why he’s jiggin’ one now
The very first squid on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 6〉
The man with the whiskers is old Jacob Steele
He’s gettin’ quite old, but he’s still pretty sound
Well Uncle Bob Hockins wears six pairs of stockin’s
Whenever he’s out on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 7〉
Holy Smoke! What a scuffle! All hands are excited
It’s a wonder to me that there’s nobody drowned
There’s a bustlin’ confusion, a wonderful hustle
They’re all jiggin’ squid on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 8〉
Says Bobby, “The squids are on top of the water
I just got me jiggers ’bout one fathom down”
But a squid in the boat sqaured right down his throat
And squaring like mad on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 9〉
There’s poor Uncle Billy, his whiskers are spattered
With spots of the squid juice that’s flyin’ around
One poor little boy got it right in the eye
But they don’t give a darn on the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
〈Verse 10〉
So if you ever feel inclined to go squiddin’
Leave your white collar behind in the town
And if you’ll feel get cranky without your silk hanky
You’d better steer clear of the Squid Jiggin’ Ground
