or FISHERMAN'S WIFE
(Ewan MacColl)
A' the week your
man's awa'
And a' the week you bide your lane
A' the time you're waiting for
The
minute that he's comin' hame
Ye ken whit why he has tae work
Ye ken the hours he has tae
keep
And yet it's making you angry when
Ye see him just come hame tae
sleep
Through the months and through the years
While you're bringing up the
bairns
Your man's awa' tae here and there
Followin' the shoals of herring
And when
he's back there's nets tae mend
You've maybe got a score or twa
And when they're done
he'll rise and say
Wife it's time I was awa'
Work and wait and dree your
weird
Pin yer faith in herrin' sales
And oftimes lie awake at nicht
In fear and dread
of winter gales
But men maun work tae earn their breid
And men maun sweat to gain their
fee
And fishermen will aye gang oot
As long as fish swim in the sea
A' the week
your man's awa'
And a' the week you bide your lane
A' the time you're waiting for
The
minute that he's comin' hame
Ye ken whit why he has tae work
Ye ken the hours he has tae
keep
And yet it's making you angry when
Ye see him just come hame tae
sleep
