Intro:
Am Amsus2 Am Amsus2
Verse 1:
Three Amfishers went Amsus2sailing out Finto the Gwest,
Out Aminto the Amsus2west as the Emsun went Gdown,
Each Fthought on the Fwoman that Cloved him the Gbest,
And the Amchildren stood Amsus2watching them Fout of the Gtown,
Chorus:
For Cmen must Cwork and Fwomen must Gweep,
For there's Amlittle to Amsus2earn and Emmany to Gkeep,
And the Fharbour Fbar be AmmoaninG',
The Amharbour Fbar be GmoaninC'.
Verse 2:
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower,
They trimmed the lamps as the sun went down,
And they looked at the squall and they looked at the shower,
And the night wrack came rollin' in, ragged and brown.
Chorus
Verse 3:
Three corpses lay out on the shining sand,
In the morning gleam as the tide went down,
And the women were weepin' and wringin' their hands,
For those who would never come back to the town.
