The Herring Girl

[00:00:00] The Herring Girl - Bella Hardy

[00:00:24] All you who look down on me

[00:00:26] With that judgement in your eyes

[00:00:30] While the jury picks it's fate for me

[00:00:33] I'd have you save your sighs

[00:00:36] As a child with no family

[00:00:38] I was begging on the street

[00:00:41] When great fortune

[00:00:43] Came and made me a herring girl

[00:00:48] I don't come from these islands

[00:00:50] From England I have roamed

[00:00:53] And born in Great Yarmouth

[00:00:56] That is my native home

[00:00:59] In Autumn when the girls

[00:01:01] All chased the fish down from the north

[00:01:05] How I longed that I would

[00:01:07] One day be a herring girl

[00:01:12] A young girl down from Aberdeen

[00:01:14] Took sick and to her bed

[00:01:17] I asked if there was work

[00:01:19] And down to Rhona I was led

[00:01:23] Oh she smiled at the height of me

[00:01:26] And said that I would do

[00:01:29] And as a Packer I was joined

[00:01:32] To be a herring girl

[00:01:35] This season started up in Scotland

[00:01:39] I'd just turned sixteen

[00:01:41] And Rhona she's the greatest gutter

[00:01:44] Stornoway has seen

[00:01:47] At eighty fish a minute

[00:01:50] And with Mary not much less

[00:01:53] We three we're famed

[00:01:55] As the best crew of herring girls

[00:02:24] Last Saturday was dancing day

[00:02:27] And the boys were in the town

[00:02:30] We were packing up and cleaning up

[00:02:33] And heading for our room

[00:02:35] When a stranger crept behind us

[00:02:39] And an ally out the back

[00:02:42] Out to catch himself a couple

[00:02:45] Of fresh herring girls

[00:02:48] Oh so suddenly he's on us

[00:02:51] And he's knocked me to the ground

[00:02:54] And he's pinned our Rhona by the throat

[00:02:57] So she couldn't make a sound

[00:03:00] But from her apron pocket fell a knife

[00:03:04] So keen and sharp

[00:03:06] I've taught that man the price

[00:03:08] Of fishing for a herring girl

[00:03:16] All you who look down on me

[00:03:18] With that judgement in your eyes

[00:03:21] While the jury picks it's fate for me

[00:03:25] I'd have you save your sighs

[00:03:27] For I'd gladly do the same again

[00:03:31] To any man that tries

[00:03:33] Test his luck

[00:03:35] And take advantage of a herring girl
