Now it's three long years since we made her pay Sing haul away my laddie O And the owners say that she's had her day And sing haul away my laddie O So heave away for the final trawl Sing haul away my laddie O It's an easy pull for the catch is small And sing haul away my laddie O Then stow your gear, lads, and batten down Sing haul away my laddie O I'll tak the wheel an' I'll turn her 'round And sing haul away my laddie O We'll join the Venture and the Morning Star Sing haul away my laddie O Riding high and empty towards the bar And sing haul away my laddie O For I'd rather beach her on the Skerry rock Sing haul away my laddie O Than to see her torched in the breaker's dock And sing haul away my laddie O And when I die you can stow me down In her rusty hold where the breakers pound Haul away Haul away I'll make the haven of the Fiddler's Green Sing haul away my laddie O Where the grub is good, and the bunks are clean And sing haul away my laddie O For I've fished a lifetime, boy and man Sing haul away my laddie O And the final trawl scarcely makes a cran And sing haul away my laddie O And sing haul away my laddie O
