Story behind the song

I Jim Jones the Fisher, II Lament, III Celebration, IV Remembrance
John Heberman is from Toronto and is an award-winning composer for film, TV and commercials. This piece is inspired by a ballad about the demise of East Coast fisherman, Jim Jones.

Lyrics

Old Jim Jones the fisher, the trapper, the trawler
Jim Jones the fish killin’ banker is dead.
No fisherman surely never stepped in a dory, 
Like Jim Jones the fisher who died in his bed.
