They’re
happy now in Gungywamp
Ez happy ez kin be;
Not
merely ‘cuz the grass is green,
An’ buds are on the tree;
They’s
other bigger, brighter things
Thet makes their faces glad.
It
is becuz the run hez come
Uv shad, shad, shad!
The
fishermen are out with nets
To drift along the stream;
It’s
come the happy time o’ year
When
fishin’ is supreme.
The
housewife shut off buyin’ meat,
Her rustic soul is glad;
The
dinner table’s loaded down
With shad, shad, shad!
Oh,
never mind the tardy spring,
An’ never mind the cough;
An’
never mind the bones that keep
Your shirt from comin’ off.
Oh,
never mind the springtime woes
Don’t think uv getting’ mad
Or
out uv sorts becuz it’s time
Fur shad, shad, shad!
