《The Shoals Of Herring》歌词

[00:00:24] With our nets and gear we're faring

[00:00:33] On the wild and wasteful ocean

[00:00:42] Its there that we hunt and we earn our bread

[00:00:45] As we hunted for the shoals of herring

[00:01:00] O it was a fine and a pleasant day

[00:01:10] Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring

[00:01:14] As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger

[00:01:19] For to go and hunt the shoals of herring

[00:01:26] O the work was hard and the hours long

[00:01:30] And the treatment sure it took some bearing

[00:01:32] There was little kindness and the kicks were many

[00:01:36] As we hunted for the shoals of herring

[00:01:39] O we fished the Swarth and the Broken Bank

[00:01:45] I was cook and I'd a quarter sharing

[00:01:52] And I used to sleep standing on my feet

[00:01:59] And I'd dream about the shoals of herring

[00:02:04] O we left the homegrounds in the month of June

[00:02:10] And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing

[00:02:13] With a hundred cran of silver darlings

[00:02:19] That we'd taken from the shoals of herring

[00:02:23] Now you're up on deck you're a fisherman

[00:02:25] You can swear and show a manly bearing

[00:02:27] Take your turn on watch with the other fellows

[00:02:30] While you're searching for the shoals of herring

[00:02:34] In the stormy seas and the living gales

[00:02:36] Just to earn your daily bread you're daring

[00:02:38] From the Dover Straits to the Faroe Islands

[00:02:39] As you're following the shoals of herring

[00:02:54] O I earned my keep and I paid my way

[00:02:56] And I earned the gear that I was wearing

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

[00:03:07] We were sailing after shoals of herring
