"Windy Old Weather", also known as "The Fish of the Sea" is widely known to fishermen in both England and America. Sam Larner called this "Up Jumped the Herring", while American singers prefer the title "The Boston Come All Ye". Early broadside printers, such as John Pitts, called it "The Fish's Lamentation — A New Song", although later printers, including Armstrong of Liverpool and Morren of Edinburgh, called it "The King of the Sea". Harry Cox sang "Windy Old Weather" to Peter Kennedy at Pinmill, Suffolk on July 12, 1956. It was also recorded by Sam Larner, Peggy Seeger, the Dildine Family, Ewan MacColl, Pete Seeger and Gordon Bok among others. It is included in the Roud Folk Song Index as #472 and was printed in Pete Seeger's The Bells of Rhymney. I learned it from Gordon Bok's recording.
