The Shoals Of Herring - The Clancy Brothers

With our nets and gear we're faring

On the wild and wasteful ocean

It's there on the tip

That we hunt and we earn our bread

As we hunted for the shoals of herring

It was a fine and a pleasant day

Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring

As a cabinboy on a sailing lugger

For to hunt the money shoals of herring

O we left the homegrounds in the month of June

And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing

With a hundred cran of silver darlings

That we'd taken from the shoals of herring

O the work was hard and the hours long

And the treatment sure it took some bearing

And the used as lived

Standard of defeat

And we give up for the shoals of herring

Now you're up on deck you're a fisherman

And your land than all your bearing

Thus your on the patience on the navegee

As the hunter money shoals of herring

In the stormy seas and the living gales

And I earned the gear that I was wearing

Sailed a million miles caught ten million fishes

Thus we are hunted for shoals of herring

And it

Night and day we're faring

Come winter wind or winter gale

Sweating or cold

Growing up growing old and dying

As you hunt the bonnie shoals of herring
