Net Hauling Song |
It’s busk ye, me boy’s, get you up on the deck |
And take up your stations for hauling the nets |
And mind up all together lads all through the night |
And shaking your oilskins until it’s daylight |
With a heave and a haul and the shaking of nets |
It’s when we’re at hauling we’re living on hope |
The boy in the locker the lads on the ropes |
The fellows in the hold to our hauling the nets |
And shaking the herring out on to the deck |
With a heave and a haul and the shaking of nets |
It’s net after net we pull up from the sea |
With a haul and a shake and a one, two and three |
The herring are a piling around our sea boots |
And slithering and sliding down into the shoots |
With a heave and a haul and the shaking of nets |
It’s hour after hour we are hauling away |
All through the long night till the dawn of the day |
The captain’s in the wheelhouse he’s on the RT |
And the cook’s in the galley a brewing the tea |
And we’re heaving and hauling and shaking of nets |
Now the season is over so be on your way |
And head for the home port to sign for your pay |
Your missus will be waiting to welcome you home |
It’s so hard for a wife to be so much alone |
And you’re finished with heaving and hauling of nets |
