Squid Jiggin' Ground Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The Wiggles would like to dedicate
this song to Hank Snow
and all the wonderful fisher[G]men
who [C]fish in the Grand Banks,
the Cuiro [G]Banks
and the Western Banks of Newfoundland.
[C]Squid Jigging Gro[G]und[C]
[G]Oh, [C]this is the place
where the fishermen gather
In [F]oilskins and [C]boots
and the cape [D]hands battened [G]down
All [C]sizes of figures
with squid lines and jiggers
They [F]congregate [C]here
on [G]the Squid Jigging [C]Ground
Some are workin' their jiggers
while others are yearning
There's [F]some standing [C]up
and there's [D]more lying [G]down
While [C]all kinds of fun jokes
and drinks are begun
As they [F]wait for the [C]squid
on the [G]squid -jigging [C]ground
There's men of all ages
and boys in the bargain
There's [F]old Billy Cave
[C]and there's you[D]ng Raven Bro[G]wn
There's [C]Rip, Red and Gorey
out here in the dory
You're [F]running down squires
[C]on the squ[G]id -jigging gro[C]und
There's men from the harbour,
there's men from the tickle
And [F]all kinds of [C]motorboats
[D]green, grey and [G]brown
Right [C]yonder is Bobby,
and with him is Nobby
He's [F]chawing hard tack
[C]on the squ[G]id -jigging rou[C]nd
God bless my Sir Wester,
there's Skipper John Champy
He's the [F]best hand at [C]squid -jigging [D]here,
I'll be [G]bound
[C]Hello, what's the row?
Ah, he's jigging one now
The [F]very first [C]squid
on the [G]squid -jigging [C]ground
The man with the whiskers
is old Jacob Steele
He's [F]getting well [C]on,
but he's [D]still pretty [G]sound
While [C]Uncle Bob Hawkins
wears six pairs of stockings
[F]Whenever he's [C]out
on the [G]squid -jigging [C]ground
Holy smoke, what a scuffle
All hands are excited
It's a [F]wonder to me
[C]that there's nob[D]ody dro[G]wned
There's a [C]bustle, confusion,
the wonderful hustle
They're [F]all jigging squid
[C]on the squid -ji[G]gging gro[C]und
Says Barney,
the squids are on top of the water
I [F]just felt me [C]jiggers jig [D]five fathoms [G]down
But a [C]squid in the boat
squirted right down his throat now
He's [F]swearing like mad
[C]on the squ[G]id -jigging gro[C]und
There's poor Uncle Louie,
his whiskers are spattered
With [F]spots of the [C]squid juice
that's [D]flying [G]around
One [C]poor little guy got it
right in the eye
But they [F]don't give a [C]darn
on [G]the squid jig and [C]round
Now if you ever feel inclined
to go squidding
[F]Leave your white [C]clothes
be[D]hind in the [G]town
And if [C]you get cranky
without your silk hanky,
You [F]better steer [C]clear of [G]the squid
jig and [C]grout.
