Lyrics
Oh, it was a fine and a pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth Harbor I was farein'
As a cabin boy on a sailin' lugger
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
Well, I earned my keep and I paid my way
And I earned the gear that I was wearin'
Sailed a million miles, caught ten million fishes
That we'd hunted in the shoals of herring
Night and day the seas were daring
Come wind or come on winter gale
Sweating or cold, growing hard
Growing old or dying
As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring
