In cloud or shine, in wet or dry
You can’t find the beat of the Cowdung Fly!
So early in the morning or when the sun is sinking,
So early in the morning or any time of day.
The salmon fly shines in purple and gold
Brighter than Solomon shone of old
But give me the finest that money can buy
And I’ll give it you back for the Cowdung Fly!
So early, &c.
A cute little chap is the silver trout
