Ewan Maccoll - The shoals of herring

^GWith our nets and ^Cgear we're ^Gfaring ^GOn the wild and wasteful ^Docea^Gn ^GIts there that we hunt and ^Cwe earn our ^Gbread ^GAs we hunted for the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GO it was a fine and a ^Cpleasant ^Gday ^GOut of Yarmouth harbor I was ^Dfaring ^DAs a ^Gcabinboy on a ^Csailing ^Glugger ^GFor to go and hunt the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GO the work was hard and the ^Chours ^Glong ^GAnd the treatment, sure it took some ^Dbearing ^DThere was ^Glittle kindness and the k^Cicks were m^Gany ^GAs we hunted for the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GO we fished the Swarth and the ^CBroken ^GBank ^GI was cook and I'd a ^Cquarter ^Dsharing ^DAnd I ^Gused to sleep standing o^Cn my fe^Get ^GAnd I'd dream about the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GO we left the homegrounds in the ^Cmonth of J^Gune ^GAnd to Canny Shiels we ^Csoon were ^Dbearing ^DWith a ^Ghundred cran of s^Cilver d^Garlings ^GThat we'd taken from the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GNow you're up on deck, ^Cyou're a ^Gfisherman ^GYou can swear and show a manly ^Dbearing ^DTake your ^Gturn on watch with the ^Cother ^Gfellows ^GWhile you're searching for the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GIn the stormy seas and the ^Cliving ^Ggales ^GJust to earn your daily ^Cbread you're ^Ddaring ^DFrom the ^GDover Straits to the F^Caroe I^Gslands ^GAs you're following the ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg

^GO I earned my keep and I ^Cpaid my ^Gway ^GAnd I earned the gear that ^CI was ^Dwearing ^DSailed a ^Gmillion miles, caught ten m^Cillion f^Gishes ^GWe were sailing after ^Cshoals of ^Dherrin^Gg
