《The Shoals of Herring》歌词

[00:00:00] Shoals of Herring - Ewan MacColl

[00:00:04] O it was a fine and a pleasant day

[00:00:10] Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring

[00:00:16] As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger

[00:00:23] For to go and hunt the shoals of herring

[00:00:32] O the work was hard and the hours long

[00:00:38] And the treatment sure it took some bearing

[00:00:45] There was little kindness and the kicks were many

[00:00:51] As we hunted for the shoals of herring

[00:01:00] O we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank

[00:01:06] I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing

[00:01:13] And I used to sleep standing on my feet

[00:01:19] And I'd dream about the shoals of herring

[00:01:28] O we left the homegrounds in the month of June

[00:01:34] And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing

[00:01:40] With a hundred cran of the silver darlings

[00:01:47] That we'd taken from the shoals of herring

[00:01:56] Now you're up on deck you're a fisherman

[00:02:02] You can swear and show a manly bearing

[00:02:08] Take your turn on watch with the other fellows

[00:02:15] While you're searching for the shoals of herring

[00:02:23] In the stormy seas and the living gales

[00:02:29] Just to earn your daily bread you're daring

[00:02:36] From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands

[00:02:42] As you're following the shoals of herring

[00:02:51] O I earned my keep and I paid my way

[00:02:58] And I earned the gear that I was wearing

[00:03:05] Sailed a million miles caught ten million fishes

[00:03:11] We were sailing after shoals of herring
