[Verse]
When the wind's away and the Fwave away
That crazy old Bbfool will go Ebdown on the Fbay
BbDodging the ledges and Ebsetting his gear
And come Bbback when the Fwind drives him Bbin
[Chorus]
But he Ebknows full well the fishing is Bbdone
His Ebcredit's all gone and the winter is Bbcome F
But as Bbsure as the tide will Cmrise and Ebrun
He'll go Bbback on the Fbay aBbgain F Bb
[Verse]
When the snow is down on the FWestern Bay
That fool will go Bbrunning the EbFiddler's FGround
BbHauling his gear in the Ebtrough of the sea
As Bbif he'd no Fmind of his Bbown Bb7
[Chorus]
Yet he Ebknows full well the fishing is Bbdone
His Ebcredit's all gone and the winter is Bbcome F
But as Bbsure as the tide will Cmrise and Ebrun
He'll go Bbback on the Fbay aBbgain F Bb
[Verse]
Well, his father's gone, and his Fbrothers are gone
And Bbstill he goes down on the Ebdark of the Fmoon
BbRowing the dory and Ebsetting the twine
And it Bbwon't even Fpay for his Bbtime Bb7

[Verse]
When the wind's away and the Fwave away
Our Bbchildren go down on the Ebmorning Fsun
They go Bbrowing their little boats Ebout on the tide
And they'll Bbfollow their Ffoolish old Bbman Bb7
[Verse]
Well, you Ebblind old fool, your children are Bbgone
And you Ebnever would tell 'gm the fishing was Bbdone F
Their Bbdays were numbered the Cmday they were Ebborn
The Bbsame as their Ffoolish old Bbman
