Me thinks I see a host of craft
Spreading their sails a
lee
Down the Humber they do glide
All bound for the Northern Sea
Me thinks I see on
each small craft
A crew with hearts so brave
Going out to earn their daily bread
Upon
the restless wave
And it's three score and ten
Boys and men were lost from
Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarboro
Many hundreds more were drowned
Our
herring craft, our trawlers
Our fishing smacks, as well
They long did fight that
bitter night
The battle with the swell
Me thinks I see them yet again
As they leave
this land behind
Casting their nets into the sea
The herring shoals to find
Me thinks
I see them yet again
They're all on board all right
With their nets rolled up and their
decks cleaned off
And the side lights burning bright
Me thinks I've heard the
captain say
"Me lads we'll shorten sail"
With the sky to all appearances
Looks like
an approaching gale
Me thinks I see them yet again
Midnight hour is past
The little
craft abattling there
Against the icy blast
October's night brought such a
sight
Twas never seen before
There were mast and yards and broken spars
A washing on
the shore
There were many a heart in sorrow
Many a heart so brave
There were many a
fine and hearty lad
That met a watery grave
recorded on Clancy Bros Songs of the Sea
and Bok et al on
Turning toward the Morning
