Lyrics:


Come all you fishermen, listen to me,
I'll sing you a song of the fish of the sea,
Chorus
In this windy old weather
Stormy old weather
When the wind blows
We'll all pull together

Up jumped the herring, the king of the sea,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, you cannot catch me",
Chorus

Up jumped the mackerel with spots on his back,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, Come square your maintack",
Chorus

Up jumped the cod with his great bulging eye,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, your rig is too high",
Chorus

Up jumped the sunfish, the smallest of all,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, come haul your trawl, haul",
Chorus

Up jumped the crab with his great long claw,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, you'll run her ashore",
Chorus

Up jumped the flounder, lies flat on the deck,
He sang out, "Oh skipper, don't step on my neck",
Chorus
