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