Stockton, Me Lads

about

A fun song about a real Australian location. How can a person go wrong with combining pirate talk, with fishing and friends?

My son, Jeremy, is on drums for this one. Background vocals by the Lads at Ellison Elementary in Vernon, BC.

Thanks also to Dan Osborne for the accordion parts.

lyrics

Stockton, me lads, is here for us all
Stockton, me lads, can you hear it calling
All to the sea and all that is fair
There's fishin' beyond compare

Stockton, me lads, is long and it’s wide
Stockton, me lads, where the sea meets the tide
There's Strawb, me old mate, and a worthy sea dog
With bait and a hook and a rod

So grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky
Grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky

Stockton, me lads, is where you should be
Stockton, me lads, it’s wild and it’s free
There's a fire at the camp an’ a cooler on hand
Better keep your bait out of the sand

So grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky
Grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky

Stockton, me lads, is chilly at night
Stockton, me lads, where the choppers bite
I seen ‘em comin' on in from the sea
They're comin' straight in at me

So grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky
Grab yer spinners and cast them up high
Beyond the sand bar and into the sky
