Snow Hank - Squid jiggin ground

Oh thi^Cs is the place where the fishermen gather In o^Fil-skins and ^Cboots and the Cape ^A7hats batten ^G7down; All ^Csizes of ^Ffigures with ^G7squid lines and ^Cjiggers, They ^Ccongregate here on the S^G7quid Jiggin' ^CGround.

Some are ^Cworkin' their jiggers, while others are yarnin', There's ^Fsome standin' ^Cup and there's ^A7more lyin' ^G7down; While ^Call kinds of ^Ffun, jokes and ^G7drinks are ^Cbegun, As they ^Cwait for the squid on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

There's ^Cmen of all ages and boys in the bargain, There's ^Fold Billy ^CCave and there's ^A7young Raymond ^G7Brown; There's ^CRip, Red and G^Fory out ^G7here in the ^Cdory, A r^Cunnin' down squires on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

There's ^Cmen from the harbor, there's men from the tickle, And a^Fll kinds of ^Cmotor-boats, ^A7green, gray and ^G7brown; Right ^Cyonder is ^FBobby and ^G7with him is ^CNobby, He's ^Cchawin' hard tack on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

God ^Cbless my soul, list to, there's Skipper John Champy, He's the ^Fbest hand at ^Csquid jiggin' ^A7here, I'll be ^G7bound; ^CHello, what's the r^Fow? Why he's ^G7jiggin' one ^Cnow, The ^Cvery first squid on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

The ^Cman with the whiskers is old Jacob Steele, He's ^Fgettin' well ^Con, but he's ^A7still pretty ^G7sound; While ^CUncle Bob ^FHockins wears s^G7ix pairs of s^Ctockin's When^Cever he's out on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

Holy ^CSmoke! What a scuffle! All hands are excited, It's a ^Fwonder to ^Cme that there's ^A7nobody ^G7drowned; There's a ^Cbustle, ^Fconfusion, the ^G7wonderful ^Chustle, They're all ^Cjiggin' squid on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

Says ^CBarney, "The squids are on top of the water, I j^Fust felt me ^Cjiggers jig f^A7ive fat homs ^G7down But a ^Csquid in the ^Fboat squirted ^G7right down ^Chis throat, Now he's s^Cwearin'like mad on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.

There's ^Cpoor Uncle Louie, his whiskers are spattered With ^Fspots of the ^Csquid juice that's ^A7flyin' a^G7round; One ^Cpoor little ^Fguy got it ^G7right in the ^Ceye, But they ^Cdon't give a darn on the ^G7Squid Jiggin' G^Cround.

Now, ^Cif you feel inclined to go squiddin', ^FLeave your white ^Cshirt and your c^A7ollar in the t^G7own; And ^Cif you get ^Fcranky with^G7out your silk ^Chanky, You'd ^Cbetter steer clear of the ^G7Squid Jiggin' ^CGround.
