Thou shall have a fishy

[ben]

What is the folk song 'Thou shall have a fishy' on the Ross advert for sea food?

[AlanC]

A traditional folk/fishing boat song from the North East called "When the boat comes in".

Isn't the title "Dance To Thi' Daddy"? I hate that song anyway...

Ahhhh, great TV theme tunes of the 70's....

[jenstar]

Yes, I know about the TV programme - it says in the Guinness Book Of Classic British Television, that the programme's theme song was a folk song called "Dance To Thi' Daddy", and the TV programme took its name from a line in the song rather than the title of the song itself. Still, I suppose in uncopyrighted songs the title is a bit academic anyway...

''When The Boat Comes In'' is a Geordie folk song. When I was a child in the Norht East it was always sung in school along with ''The Keelrow''.
