With our nets and gear we're faring[00:03:37]
On the wild and wasteful ocean.[00:03:37]
Its there that we hunt and we earn our bread[00:03:37]
As we hunted for the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
O it was a fine and a pleasant day[00:03:37]
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring[00:03:37]
As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger[00:03:37]
For to go and hunt the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
O the work was hard and the hours long[00:03:37]
And the treatment, sure it took some bearing[00:03:37]
There was little kindness and the kicks were many[00:03:37]
As we hunted for the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
O we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank[00:03:37]
I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing[00:03:37]
And I used to sleep standing on my feet[00:03:37]
And I'd dream about the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
O we left the homegrounds in the month of June[00:03:37]
And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing[00:03:37]
With a hundred cran of silver darlings[00:03:37]
That we'd taken from the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman[00:03:37]
You can swear and show a manly bearing[00:03:37]
Take your turn on watch with the other fellows[00:03:37]
While you're searching for the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
In the stormy seas and the living gales[00:03:37]
Just to earn your daily bread you're daring[00:03:37]
From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands[00:03:37]
As you're following the shoals of herring[00:03:37]
O I earned my keep and I paid my way[00:03:37]
And I earned the gear that I was wearing[00:03:37]
Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes[00:03:37]
We were sailing after shoals of herring[00:03:37]
