Lyrics:

Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day,
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was farin'
As a cabin boy on a sailin' lugger,
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring.

Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman,
You can swear and show a manly bearin'
Take your turn on watch with the other fellows,
As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring.

Well I earned my keep and I payed my way.
And I earned the gear that I was wearing.
Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes
We were dreaming of the shoals of herring.

Night and day the seas were daring.
Come wind, oh come winter gale.
Sweating or cold, growing up, growing old.
Or dying.
As we dream about the shoals of herring...
