Lyrics:
Oh, this is the place where the fishermen and gather with Oil-skins and boots and the Cape Anns battened down All sizes of figures with squid lines and jiggers They congregate here on the squid jiggin' ground. Some are workin' their jiggers, while others are yarnin' There's some standin' up and there's more lyin' down While all kinds of fun, jokes and drinks are begun As they wait for the squid on the squid jiggin' ground. There's men of all ages and boys in the bargain There's old Billy Cave and there's young Raymond Brown There's Rip, Red and Gory out here in the dory A runnin' down squires on the squid jiggin' ground. There's men from Bar Harbor, there's men from Mertickle And all kinds of motor-boats, green, gray and brown Right yonder is Bobby and with him is Nobby He's chawin' hard tack on the squid jiggin' ground. God bless my soueaster, there's Skipper John, John Chaffee He's the best hand at squid jiggin' here, I'll be bound Hello, what's the row? Why he's jiggin' one now The very first squid on the squid jiggin' ground. The man with the whisker is old Jacob Steele He's gettin' well on, but he's still pretty sound While Uncle Bob Hockins wears six pairs of stockin's Whenever he's out on the squid jiggin' ground. Holy Smoke! What a scuffle! All hands are excited It's a wonder to me that there's nobody drowned There's a bustle, confusion, the wonderful hustle They're all jiggin' squid on the squid jiggin' ground. Says Bobby, "The squids are on top of the water, I just got me riggers 'bout one fathom down" But a squid in the boat squirted right down his throat And he swam like mad on the squid jiggin' ground. There's poor Uncle Louie, his whiskers are spattered With spots of the squid juice that's flyin' around One poor little boy got it right in the eye But they don't give a darn on the squid jiggin' ground. Now, if you ever feel inclined to go squiddin' Leave your starched collars behind in the town And if you get cranky without your silk hanky You'd better steer clear of the squid jiggin' ground...
