the jolly rogers - shoals of herring lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
with our nets and gear we’re sailin’
on the wild and wasteful ocean
it’s out there on the deep
that we harvest and reap our bread
as we hunt the bonny shoals of herring

[verse 2]
it was on a fair and a pleasant day
out of yarmouth harbor i was farin’
as a cabin boy on a sailin’ lugger
out to hunt the bonny shoals of herring

[verse 3]
oh, we left the home grounds in the month of june
and to canny shields we soon were bearin’
with a hundred cran of the silver darlin’s
that we’d taken from the shoals of herring

[verse 4]
now, the work was hard and the hours werе long
and the treatment surеly took some bearin’
and i used to sleep standin’ on me feet
and i’d dream about the shoals of herring

[verse 5]
now you’re up on deck, you’re a fisherman
and you’re learnin’ all about seafarin’
that’s your education, scr+ps of navigation
as you hunt the bonny shoals of herring
[verse 6]
in the stormy seas and livin’ gales
i earned the gear that i was wearin’
sailed ten thousand miles, caught ten million fishes
as we hunted for the shoals of herring

[verse 7]
and it’s night and day we’re farin’
come winter whale, or winter gale
sweating or cold; growing up, growing old or dyin’
as we hunt the bonny shoals of herring
