[C]
With our nets and gear [G] we're
[C] ferrying On the wild and east full ocean
It's out there on the deep We harvest [F] and reap [C] our bread
As we hunt the bunny shoals [G] of hay
[C] Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day Out of Yarmouth Harbour we were [G] sparing
And [C]
boy on a sailing lager We were following [G] the shoals of [C] herring
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman You can swear and show and [G] manly bearing
[Em]
[C] Take your turn and watch with the other fellas As you're hunting [G] for the shoals of [C] herring
Now we fished the swart and the broken bank I was cook and I'd a [G] quarter share in
And [C] I used to sleep standing on me feet As we hunted for [G] the shoals of [C] herring
We left the home grounds in the months of June And for canny shields we still [G] were bearing
[C] With a hundred of the silver darlings As we'd taken from [G] the shoals of [C] herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales Just to earn your daily bread [G] you're faring
From [C] the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands And you're hunting for the [G] shoals of [C] herring
Well I earned me keep and they paid me way And they earned the gear that I [G] was wearing
Saved [C] a million piles, caught ten million fishes We were hunting [G] after shoals of [C] herring
You're net rope man now, boy you're on the move And you're learning all about [G] seafaring
[C]
That's your education, scraps of navigation As you hunt the funny [G]
shoals of [C] herring
Night and day the seas [G] were [C] daring Come wind our [F] carol [C]
winter gale
Sweating or cold, rowing or dying As you hunt the funny [G] shoals of herring
[C]
With our nets and gear [G] we're
[C] ferrying On the wild and east full ocean
It's out there on the deep We harvest [F] and reap [C] our bread
As we hunt the bunny shoals [G] of hay
[C] Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day Out of Yarmouth Harbour we were [G] sparing
