“Twinkly-doodle-dum” by Zachary Hudson

Zachary Hudson (1979). Dad sung the song “Twinkly-doodle-dum” to Zachary.  Zachary said he was told this song is a Newfoundlander tune. But Zachary has only heard it from his father.
Zachary’s version sounded like this:
There once was a fisherman who sailed out from Pimbeco,
To catch the great marlin and the bold mackerel.
When he sailed out from Pimbeco the stormy seas did fiercely blow.
His little boat went wiggle-waggle and he fell overboard.
Twinky-doodle-dum, twinky-doodle-dum,
Was the highly interesting song he sung.
Twinky-doodle-dum, twinky-doodle-dum,
Sang the bald fisherman.
He wiggled and he wiggled in the water so briny-oh,
He helloed and bellowed but alas, no avail.
Then finally he did glide to the bottom of the silvery tide,
But previous to this he cried, “Fare-thee-well, Mary Jane.”
Twinky-doodle-dum, twinky-doodle-dum,
Was the highly interesting song he sung.
Twinky-doodle-dum, twinky-doodle-dum,
Sang the bald fisherman.
