《Shoals of Herring》歌词

[00:03:37] With our nets and gear we're faring

[00:03:37] On the wild and wasteful ocean.

[00:03:37] Its there that we hunt and we earn our bread

[00:03:37] As we hunted for the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] O it was a fine and a pleasant day

[00:03:37] Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring

[00:03:37] As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger

[00:03:37] For to go and hunt the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] O the work was hard and the hours long

[00:03:37] And the treatment, sure it took some bearing

[00:03:37] There was little kindness and the kicks were many

[00:03:37] As we hunted for the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] O we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank

[00:03:37] I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing

[00:03:37] And I used to sleep standing on my feet

[00:03:37] And I'd dream about the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] O we left the homegrounds in the month of June

[00:03:37] And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing

[00:03:37] With a hundred cran of silver darlings

[00:03:37] That we'd taken from the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman

[00:03:37] You can swear and show a manly bearing

[00:03:37] Take your turn on watch with the other fellows

[00:03:37] While you're searching for the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] In the stormy seas and the living gales

[00:03:37] Just to earn your daily bread you're daring

[00:03:37] From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands

[00:03:37] As you're following the shoals of herring

[00:03:37] O I earned my keep and I paid my way

[00:03:37] And I earned the gear that I was wearing

[00:03:37] Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes

[00:03:37] We were sailing after shoals of herring
