Summertime is just about gone...

Go to http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/1018251/a/King+Mackerel+&+The+Blues+Are+Running.htm to hear pieces of the songs from this album. I grew up listening to all of these. I think I first heard it on PBS...

King Mackerel & The Blues are Runnin

Tide rolls in, tide rolls out
Summertime is just about gone
All that's left to think about
Is this fishin comin on

Who's got the latest information?
The Coast Guard, or charter boat crews?
Could be the kids down at the fillin station
Saying, "Buddy, have you heard the news?"
Hey, buddy, have you heard the news...

King Mackerel and the Blues are runnin
All along the coast
Talk about fishing
You can't give the fish away
Everybody's lucky
October and the moon is comin
But the clouds won't give up the ghost
Oh let the good weather hold one more day

Radio announcer's voice:
"Here on the Outer Banks winds are currently from the northeast at 10 to 15 knots. Coast Guard's lifted yesterday's small craft warning from Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear. Seas are running 1 or 2 feet above normal, though, so stay tuned to the Weather Channel. Ocean temperature off Hatteras, Ocracoke and Core Banks averaging 68 degrees. Air temperature probably won't break a high of 60...but it's a beautiful day all along the Carolina coast and, our reports are, the fishing is excellent.

Every body's lucky
October and the moon is comin
But the clouds won't give up the ghost
Oh let the good weather hold one more day

Wake up! We're movin out!
Four-wheel drive will take us where we're goin, yeah
If it don't, we're missin out
You wanna be there before dawn

But when the sun is finally settin
And there's sand in everybody's shoes, yeah
The cooler's full of fish
There ain't nobody frettin
No it's, "Hey, buddy, have you heard the news?"
