I'm a fisherman's son, got fisherman's ways,
I fished with my father in my younger days;
I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade,
Just to pass to my son and he'll do the same.
The sea is my lifeline, the shore is my home,
I have been to your cities, I didn't stay long;
I stared at the bright lights, the dark city ways,
I tell you that's not for me so I didn't stay.
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La;
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La.
Some days are rough so we roll with the waves,
If the living is tough, then slack is the pay;
But we leave with the sunrise, we wake at the dawn,
Just singing the fisherman's song.
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La;
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La.
I'm a fisherman's son, got fisherman's blood,
Just a-hauling the lobster, and jigging the cod;
And if you don't like me then leave me alone,
And I'll go on singing my fisherman's song.
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La;
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La.
I'm a fisherman's son, got fisherman's ways,
I fished with my father in my younger days;
I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade,
Just to pass to my son and he'll do the same.
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La La;
Singing: La La La La La La, La La La La La La;
La La La La La La, La La La La La La La.
