Shoals of Herring - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
With our nets and gear we're faring[00:00:05]
On the wild and wasteful ocean[00:00:17]
It's out there on the deep[00:00:32]
We harvest and reap our bread[00:00:38]
As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring[00:00:48]
Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day[00:01:01]
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring[00:01:07]
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger[00:01:13]
We were following the shoals of herring[00:01:19]
Now you're up on deck you're a fisherman[00:01:27]
You can swear and show a manly bearing[00:01:32]
Take your turn on watch with the other fellows[00:01:38]
As you're hunting for the shoals of herring[00:01:44]
Now we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank[00:01:52]
I was cook and I'd a quarter share in[00:01:57]
And I used to sleep standing on me feet[00:02:03]
As we hunted for the shoals of herring[00:02:09]
We left the home grounds in the month of June[00:02:17]
And for Canny Shiels we soon were bearing[00:02:22]
With a hundred cran of the silver darlings[00:02:28]
That we'd taken from the shoals of herring[00:02:34]
In the stormy seas and the living gales[00:02:41]
Just to earn your daily bread you're faring[00:02:47]
From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands[00:02:53]
And you're hunting for the shoals of herring[00:02:59]
Well I earned my keep and I paid my way[00:03:06]
And I earned the gear that I was wearing[00:03:12]
Sailed a million miles caught ten million fishes[00:03:17]
We were hunting after shoals of herring[00:03:23]
You're net rope man now bor you're on the move[00:03:31]
And you're learning all about sea faring[00:03:36]
That's your education scraps of navigation[00:03:42]
As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring[00:03:48]
Night and day the seas were daring[00:03:57]
Come wind or calm or winter gales[00:04:07]
Sweating or cold growing up growing old or dying[00:04:19]
As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring[00:04:32]
