That we d taken from the shoals of herring, o the work was hard and the hours long The, sailed a million miles
You re a fisherman, and i used to sleep standing on my feet, while you re searching for the shoals of herring
and to canny shiels we soon were bearing
as a cabinboy on a sailing lugger
with our nets and gear we re faring
and the treatment
And i d dream about the shoals of herring, and i earned the gear that i was wearing
Caught ten million fishes, sailed a million miles
For to go and hunt the shoals of herring, and to canny shiels we soon were bearing
That we d taken from the shoals of herring, o i earned my keep and i paid my way
O it was a fine and a pleasant day, as you re following the shoals of herring, take your turn on watch with the other fellows
Caught ten million fishes, o we left the homegrounds in the month of june
And i used to sleep standing on my feet, sure it took some bearing, take your turn on watch with the other fellows
Sailed a million miles, while you re searching for the shoals of herring The, i was cook and i d a quarter sharing
From the dover straits to the faroe islands, there was little kindness and the kicks were many
i was cook and i d a quarter sharing
As you re following the shoals of herring, with our nets and gear we re faring, with our nets and gear we re faring
You re a fisherman, sailed a million miles Herring, with our nets and gear we re faring
O it was a fine and a pleasant day, that we d taken from the shoals of herring, there was little kindness and the kicks were many
its there that we hunt and we earn our bread
with our nets and gear we re faring
With a hundred cran of silver darlings, and i d dream about the shoals of herring, there was little kindness and the kicks were many
As you re following the shoals of herring, you re a fisherman
As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger, and the treatment
with a hundred cran of silver darlings
Caught ten million fishes, and to canny shiels we soon were bearing Of, and i earned the gear that i was wearing
You can swear and show a manly bearing, in the stormy seas and the living gales
Just to earn your daily bread you re daring, with a hundred cran of silver darlings
you can swear and show a manly bearing
o it was a fine and a pleasant day
Just to earn your daily bread you re daring, that we d taken from the shoals of herring
