With our n^Aets and gear we're fa^Erin^Ag On the w^Aild and w^Dasteful o^Acea^En. It's ou^At there on th^De deep that ^Awe harvest a^End reap, our b^Aread As we h^Aunt the bonny sh^Doals of he^Erri^Ang.

On the s^Atormy seas a^Dnd the l^Eiving g^Aales I earned ^Athe gear that I was we^Earing Sailed ten^A-thousand mi^Eles, ca^Dught ten-million fi^Ashes As we hunte^Ad for the shoa^Dls of h^Eerr^Aing
