Song by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band<br /><br>

Sat here by this stony brook until the grey day turned to dust <br>

When up swam a fish with a children’s book thought that I was lost. <br>

He was on his way to the salmon hop, that’s where they go to breed <br>

Saw me sitting on this log and thought I’d like to read. <br>

<br>

The night was cloudy but the moon he found a hole <br>

Said that he felt bad for me cause I had no place to go <br>

<br>

Why aren’t you at the harvest ball with some sweet young gal <br>

You just sit like a bump on the log and call that fish your pal. <br>

<br>

Well, I told him I was an orphan lived here all alone <br>

But many people have often tried to catch and take me home <br>

They never caught me! <br>

<br>

Thought that I was a hiding, call this log my home <br>

But the fish and the moon and a sweet young gal <br>

All want me for their own. <br>

<br>

The night was cloudy but the moon he found a hole <br>

Said that he felt bad for me cause I had no place to go <br>

<br>

So I met that gal at the harvest ball, she took me to her room <br>

While I slept in children’s dreams, the fish ran away with the moon. <br>

The fish ran away with the moon <br>

The fish ran away with the moon<br>

<br>
