\nPlay the Blue Pike Song<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n


\nLyrics to the Blue Pike Song
\n<\/span>Song sent in to Outdoors Niagara by Bob R. Jr. in
\nClio MI. This song had disappeared from the ‘net a few
\nyears ago and fortunately Bob had archived it and sent it to me. The song won
\nthe singer\/writer a $500.00
\nreward as being the best written & sung song played at some kind of festival in
\nOhio. [Arts Festival?]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The song was
\nlinked to from the Outdoors Niagara Website but the link eventually
\ndisappeared in March 2007. I am happy to have it back AND complete with the
\nlyrics too!
\nBob in Michigan put the lyrics together and for that I am grateful. Thanks Bob!

I\u2019ll sing you a song of the lakes around the
\nbout. 0:09 <\/span><\/p>\n

With their perch and their walleye their
\nsteelhead and trout. 0:14<\/span><\/p>\n

But of all the sports fish you may fondly recall. 0:19 Read more about: Black and Blue Jigs with A Black and Blue Trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure the darling Blue Pike was the queen of
\nthem all. 0:26 <\/span><\/p>\n

Well once the Great Lakes with the Pike they
\ndid team. 0:33 <\/span><\/p>\n

From Sandusky Bay to Niagara\u2019s great Stream.
\n0:39<\/span><\/p>\n

You could cast out you line anytime of the day. 0:42<\/p>\n

And hall in Blue Pike from the old (Erie) Ear-ii-\u0101. 0:48<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s raise your glass fellows and here\u2019s to
\nthe day. 0:53 <\/span><\/p>\n

When the Blue Pike swam free in the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 0:59 <\/span><\/p>\n

Then the factories sprang up fouling water and
\nair. 1:06 <\/span><\/p>\n

And the fish tugs and gill nets took more than
\ntheir share. 1:12 <\/span><\/p>\n

And says the Blue Pike this is no place to
\nstay. 1:17 <\/span><\/p>\n

And she bid her farewell to the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 1:23 <\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s raise your glass fellows and here\u2019s to
\nthe day. 1:27 <\/span><\/p>\n

When the Blue Pike swam free in the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 1:33 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Instrumental Break-Harmonica) 2:00 <\/span><\/p>\n

Now the factories grow quieter year after
\nyear. 2:04 <\/span><\/p>\n

And the poisoned lake waters may someday run
\nclear. 2:09 <\/span><\/p>\n

If we all do our part we may yet see the day.
\n2:14 <\/span><\/p>\n

When the Blue Pike returns to the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 2:20 <\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s raise your glass fellows and here\u2019s to
\nthe day. 2:25 <\/span><\/p>\n

When the Blue Pike swam free in the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 2:31 <\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s raise your glass fellows and here\u2019s to
\nthe day. 2:36 <\/span><\/p>\n

When the Blue Pike returns to the old (Erie)
\nEar-ii-\u0101. 2:42-2:48<\/span><\/p>\n

End<\/span><\/p>\n
