What Happened to the Fish, Mon?


Lyrics and Music by Jonny Olsen

Well the tide rolls up and the ships roll out
Searching the seas on a fishing scout
Hoping to find something in time
To save the jobs on the fishing line
But they don't find much, not like before
When cod could be caught right off the shore
And when the boats come home when the day is done
There were no fish to catch and they say...

Chorus
What happened to the fish, mon?

Well the inshore men knew it wouldn't be long
Before the entire cod stock would be gone
But the trawler captains kept fishing on
Catching their quotas and singing their songs
Well the government knew
That the numbers weren't right
But they couldn't stand up to the trawler captain's plight
Now when the boats come home when the day is done
There were no fish to catch and they say...

Chorus
What happened to the fish, mon?

Bridge
Where'd they go?
I don't know
The fishing industry turned real slow
The regulation blows cause everybody knows
When you take too much fish, they run away
And then you will have to say...

Chorus
What happened to the fish, mon?

Well a sailor drinking rum and fishing in the sun
Caught a little fishy, where'd that one come from?
Well the fishy said, "My family has just begun
All us little fishies make a 32 ton
But we've been on the run since the trawler captain's come
It won't be long before we'll all be done
You must only take some 'cause it's never really fun
When you have to sing that doggone song"

Chorus
What happened to the fish, mon?

Bridge
Where'd they go?
I don't know
The fishing industry turned real slow
The regulation blows cause everybody knows
When you take too much fish, they run away
And then you will have to say...

What happened to the fish, mon?
