Fishing in a Sailboat
"Here is a song that we have sung since I was a little girl. It has hand motions to go with it in parenthesis. It is a repetitive song so I have done the
first verse as it is performed, then just added to number of times to repeat on the next ones..."
It goes:
Peter, James & John went fishing in a sailboat
(throw like throwing a fishing pole)
Peter, James & John went fishing in a sailboat
(throw
like throwing a fishing pole)
Peter, James & John went fishing in a sailboat
(throw
like throwing a fishing pole)
Out on the deep blue sea
They fished all night but they caught no fishes
(throw like fishing & then wag finger & shake head no)
*REPEAT 2 MORE TIMES AS ABOVE*
Out on the deep blue sea
Jesus came walking on the water
(trudge like walking)
REPEAT 2 MORE TIMES
out on the deep blue sea
Jesus said cast your nets on the other side
(make
like throwing a fishing net opposite the side you originally did)
REPEAT 2 MORE TIMES
Out on the deep blue sea
Then their nets were full of fishes
(pull nets back
in)
REPEAT 2 MORE TIMES
Out on the deep blue sea.
