Final Trawl |
It’s been three long years |
Since we made her pay, |
Sing, haul away, my laddie-o |
And we can’t get by on the subsidy, |
Sing haul away, my laddie-o |
So now you heave away, |
For the final trawl |
Sing haul away, my laddie-o |
It’s an easy pull |
For the catch is small |
Sing haul away, my laddie-o. |
And then you take your gear, lad, |
And batten down, |
And I’ll taker her wheel, lad, |
And turn her 'round. |
And then we’ll join the 'Venture' |
And the 'Morning Star' |
Riding high and empty |
Towards the bar. |
For I’d rather beach her |
On the Skerry rock |
Than to see her torched |
In the breakers dock |
Then when I die, |
You can stow me down |
In her rusty hold |
Where the breakers sound |
And then I’ll make the haven |
Of Fiddler’s Green |
Where the grub is good, |
And the bunks are clean |
For I’ve fished a lifetime, |
Boy and man |
And this final trawl |
Scarcely makes a cran. |
And it’s been three long years |
Since we made her pay |
And we can’t get by |
On the subsidy |
Sing haul away, my laddie-o. |
