No More Fish, No Fishermen

"Coal Not Dole" was made popular by Coope Boyes and Simpson on their Funny Old World album, and is in turn based on the Victorian Christmas carol, "See, Amid The Winter's Snow".

No More Fish, No Fishermen is a song, the lyrics for which were composed by Canadian folklorist Shelley Posen, about the demise of the Newfoundland fishery.

Posen also recorded it on his CD The Old Songs Home, with a jangle pop musical arrangement reminiscent of The Byrds.
