Lyrics
As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair
To view the still waters and taste the salt air
I heard an old fisherman singin' this song
Oh, take me away, boys, my time is not long
Wrap me up in the oil skins and blankets
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
Now, Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tale
Where 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
Wrap me up in the oil skins and blankets
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
And when you're in dock, and the long trip is through
There's pubs, and there's clubs, and there's lassies there too
The girls are all pretty, and the beer is all free
And there's bottles of rum growin' on every tree
Wrap me up in the oil skins and blankets
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
No, I don't want a harp or a halo, not me
Just give me a breeze and a good rollin' sea
And I'll play my old squeezebox as we sail along
With the wind in the riggin' to sing me this song
Wrap me up in the oil skins and blankets
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
