The Ghost of the Fishing Fleet Lyrics by The Hit Parade

Cornish Pop Songs

2014

The only curse of Satan comes up on the hill below the graves of a couple men they knew
'You want a job you gotta go see Mr. Stevenson but don't tell him that I sent you
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
Tonight
Do you remember building castles on the beach and digging deep holes in the sandy shores?
The field was sold up by the farmer on the cheap now it's a car park full of four by fours
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
And all the things my granddad said came true
He said, "what you do comes back to haunt you"
(back to haunt you, back to haunt you)
There you were shoutin' have I heard that he saw (?) Pilcher's movin' up the course towards Mount's Bay?
But now it's silent on the hills and in the high streets, no legs be cast today
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
Tonight
The traffic jam arrives and tourists want the passes and a postcard of the miles of lights
They'll never know what isn't there but port of bachelors (?) if they beat me from the other (?) line
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
I see the ghost of a fishing fleet
All the things my granddad said came true
He said, "what you do comes back to haunt you"
(back to haunt you, back to haunt you)
There's the ghost of the fishing fleet
There's the ghost of the fishing fleet
There's the ghost of the fishing fleet
There's the ghost, there's the ghost
There's the ghost of the fishing fleet
There's the ghost, there's the ghost
There's the ghost of the fishing fleet
