0:10Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day
0:16Out of yarmouth harbour I was faring
0:23As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
0:29For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
0:36Well I earned my keep and I payed my way
0:43And I earned the gear that I was wearing
0:49Sailed a million miles
0:52Caught ten million fishes
0:55That we'd hunted in the shoals of herring
1:03Night and day the seas were daring
1:09Come wind o call our winter gale
1:17Sweating or cold growing up
1:22Growing old or dying
1:28As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring
Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day Out of yarmouth harbour I was faring As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring Well I earned my keep and I payed my way And I earned the gear that I was wearing Sailed a million miles Caught ten million fishes That we'd hunted in the shoals of herring Night and day the seas were daring Come wind o call our winter gale Sweating or cold growing up Growing old or dying As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring
