lyrics
We are three jolly fishermen,
We are three jolly fishermen,
We are three jolly fishermen,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.
We cast our nets into the sea,
We cast our nets into the sea,
We cast our nets into the sea,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.
Chorus
Make haste, make haste,
We’ll be too late,
One fish my dear,
I cannot wait,
For my fine fry of herring,
My bonnie silver herring,
Mind how you sell them,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.
We sell them three for four pence,
We sell them three for four pence,
We sell them three for four pence,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.
There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
While the merry merry bells do ring.
Chorus
From tail to head they’re gleaming,
From tail to head they’re gleaming,
From tail to head they’re gleaming,
While the merry merry bells do ring.
Chorus

Thanks for the beautiful music Karine and Dave. it's been a while since I've felt so emotional listening to a new album. Every lyric is so beautifully supported by the piano parts. Laura-Beth Salter

Another wonderful collection from Karine. From the hauntingly beautiful to the quitetly barbed politics, Karine delivers a consistently deep and powerful album. scottish_viking

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
