Fiddlers Green |
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair |
To view the still waters and take the salt air |
I heard an old fisherman singing this song |
O take me away boys, my time is not long |
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumpers |
No more on the docks I’ll be seen |
Just tell me old shipmates |
I’m taking a trip, mates |
And I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s Green |
Fiddler’s Green is a place I’ve heard tell |
Where the fishermen go if they don’t go to hell |
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play |
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away |
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumpers |
No more on the docks I’ll be seen |
Just tell me old shipmates |
I’m taking a trip, mates |
And I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s Green |
The weather is clear and there’s never a gale |
And the fish jump on board with a swish of their tail |
Where you lie at your leisure, there’s no work to do And the skipper’s below making tea for the crew |
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumpers |
No more on the docks I’ll be seen |
Just tell me old shipmates |
I’m taking a trip, mates |
And I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s Green |
When you get back in dock and the long trip is through |
There’s pubs and there’s clubs and there’s lassies there too |
Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free |
And there’s bottles of rum growing from every tree |
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumpers |
No more on the docks I’ll be seen |
Just tell me old shipmates |
I’m taking a trip, mates |
And I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s Green |
Now, I don’t want a harp or a halo, not me Just give me a ship and a good rolling sea |
And I’ll play my old squeeze box as we sail along |
With the wind in our rigging to sing me this song |
Dress me up in me oilskins and jumpers |
No more on the docks I’ll be seen |
Just tell me old shipmates |
I’m taking a trip, mates |
And I’ll see you someday in Fiddler’s Green |
