"The Fisher Who Died In His Bed", sung by Patrick Rossiter of Fermeuse, Newfoundland, collected by Kenneth Peacock in 1961.
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialMy final contribution is this lovely version of Four Loom Weaver from Janice Burns and Jon Doran @janandjon.bsky.social #trades
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialGreat song, not strictly traditional but fits in very well. And certainly an unusual trade #trades
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialAn absolute classic from Martin Carthy. #trades

@tradsongtues.bsky.socialA great song from my native North East. And yes, the treatment of blacklegs could be brutal. #trades
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialDefinitely a trade, but as you say, he barely features in the song. #trades
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialOne of the many songs from the weaving trade. #trades
@george23-smith.bsky.social@tradsongtues.bsky.social #trades
A song about miners and the 1844 strike in Northumbria. As far as I'm aware most of the stuff mentioned in this song actually happened.

@tradsongtues.bsky.socialA very sombre song from Eliza Cathy for a hardworking fisher boy. #trades

The Jute Mill Song, by Mary Brooksbank (who makes a cameo appearance in my current novel), detailing the hardship experienced by the Dundee weavers.
And lovely versions of it here
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialThere are interesting variants of this song that have the boy as a ploughman but in this case a lighter was a type of boat that ferried cargo from larger vessels, so a sailor is consistent. Great little song. #trades
@mandywest.bsky.socialA cute little song ( originally a children’s song which is in the Cecil Sharp’s English Folk Songs for Schools)
