[F] _ [Bb] _ [C] [Dm] All you who look down on me [Am] With that judgement in your eyes
[Dm] Won't the jury pick that's faint for me [Am] And [F] have you say you're sad?
[Bb] As a child with [Gm] no family [F] I was begging on [Am] the street
When [Bb] great fortune [Am] came and made [Bb] me A herring girl
[Dm] I don't come from [Am] these islands From England I have roamed
[Dm] I'm born in [Am] graveyard That is [F] my native home
It's [Bb] _ _ _ [F] the fish down from the [Am] North How [Bbm] I longed a [Am] time
With one very [Bb] big herring girl
[Dm] A young girl down from [G] [C] Aberdeen Took sick into her bed
[Dm] I [G] asked if there was work and [C] down to [F] Rona I [C] was [F] like [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F]
the dire [Am] wolf, noo
And [Bb] as a [G] packer [Am] I was joined to [Bb] be a herring girl
[Dm] This season started up in [C] Scotland I'd just turned sixteen
[Dm] And Rona, she's the greatest [C] girl there's [F] gone away has
_ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ [F] And with Mary not [Am] much less [Bb] We'd [G] breed

[Bb] _ _ _ Saturday [E] was [Dm] dancing day And [C] the boys were in the town
[Dm] We were packing up and [D] cleaning [C] up And heading for our boats
[Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] [F] And Ali [Am] ran on the bike [Bb] Out to [Gm] catch [Am] himself
A couple [Bb] of fresh herring [Bb] girls
[Dm] And he's honest [C] And he's knocked me to the ground
[Dm] And he's pinned down Rona by the throat [C] So she couldn't make a sound
[F] _ [Bb] _ [Gm] Rock it, [F] I'm so [Am] keen and sharp [Bb] I've told that man [G] the price [Am] of fishing for
[Bb] A [C] herring [Bb] girl
_ _ [C] _ [Bb] _
[Dm] All you who [D] look down on me With [C] that judgement in your [Am]
[Dm] eyes
Well, if you're [G] real quick to [D] trade for [Am] me I'd have [F] you say your signs
