North Sea Shoals |
Come all you gallant fishermen that plough the stormy sea, |
The whole year round on the fishing grounds |
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, |
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes |
Where the herring shoals are found. |
It’s there you’ll find the Norfolk boys and the lads from Peterhead, |
There’s Buckie chiels and men from Shields, |
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, |
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes |
Where the herring shoals are found. |
From Fraserborough and Aberdeen, from Whitby, Yarmouth Town, |
The fleet’s away at the break of day |
To the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, |
To the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes |
Where the herring shoals are found. |
It’s off with a boiler full of steam and your engine spic and span |
To fish the grounds the North Sea round |
And fish and knolls and the North Sea Holes |
And try your luck at the North Shields Gut |
With a catch of a hundred cran. |
No need to wait for the wind and tide, you’re the master of the sea, |
Come calm or squall, just shoot and haul |
And fill the hold with the fish to be sold |
And steam ahead for the curing shed |
And the buyers on the Yarmouth quay. |
Come all you gallant fishermen that plough the stormy sea, |
The whole year round on the fishing grounds |
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, |
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes |
Where the herring shoals are found. |
