Angler’s Fireside Song


Oh, the angler’s path is a very merry way,  And his road through the world is bright;For he lives with the laughing stream all day,  And he lies by the fire at night.

      Sing hey nonny, ho nonny      And likewise well-a-day!      The angler’s life is a very jolly life      And that’s what the anglers say!

Oh, the angler plays for the pleasure of the game,  And his creel may be full or light,But the tale that he tells will be just the same  When he lies by the fire at night.

      Sing hey nonny, ho nonny      And likewise well-a-day!      We love the fire and the music of the lyre,      And that’s what the anglers say!

To the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club, April, 1913.
