Lyrics:


On Bamboroughshire's rocky shore,
Just as you enter Bowmer Raw,
There lives the Bonny fisher lad,
The fisher that bangs them a'.
Chorus:
O the bonny fisher lad,
That brings the fishes fra' the sea;
O the bonny fisher lad,
The fisher lad got had of me.

My mother sent me out one day,
To gather cockles fra' the sea;
But I had not been long away,
When the fisher lad got had of me.
Chorus

A sailor I will never marry,
Nor soldier, for he's got no brass;
But I will have a fhisher lad,
Because I am a fisher's lass.
Chorus
