The Fish - Craig Herbertson
The Laird John Clerk wis a belted knight His keeper cam frae Penicuik My brother wis just a fisherman Frae Northfield farm in Edinbra The Laird John Clerk held a fine estate Bonnie fields and bright waters Sae widely famed were his deer and game The talk o'a'the poachers His keeper was a canny man Guid guardian fir his masters'On the salmon run wi his dog and gun A dei'lfir the slaughter My brother Keith wis a gallous lad And dearly loved the poaching Wi his rod and reel he gang aft to steal A fish frae Clerkie'swaters In the dark o night in pale moonlight My brother watched the waters Oe'rthe croaking frogs came the bark o dogs And the keeper there behind them And it'sunder moon and ower muir Tae Northfield farm frae Penicuik Wi his belt and knife he'dtae run fir his life To dodge auld Clerkie'skeeper A'through the night he ran and hid But the keeper could'nacatch him And he lost his gear by the ruined weir His rod an a'his tackle But in the light he saw a fish A salmon in bright water Wi nae rod and reel just a guddlers feel He threw her frae the water And it'sower hills and far awa Frae Penicuik through Duddingston Wi a heart so blithe fir tae run fir his life And dodge auld Clerkie'skeeper Now the lady Nairn had a canny cook A chancer for a bargain And he boucht the fish for auld Clerkie'sdish And nane tae be the wiser Auld John Clerk he got his fish His keeper got the tackle The cook got mair than a gillie'sshare But my brother got the better And his rod and reel field and stream Mair midges ower the water Let others seek where the salmon leap My brother wis a fisherman Guitar score
