And then you take your gear, lad, and batten down, sing ...
And I'll take her wheel, lad and turn her 'round, sing ...

And then we'll join "The Venture" and "The Morning Star"
Riding high and empty towards the bar

For I'd rather beach her on the Skerry rock
Than to see her torched in the breaker's dock

Then when I die, you can stow me down
In her rusty hold where the breakers sound

And then I'll make the haven of Fiddler's Green
Where the grub is good and the bunks are clean

For I've fished a lifetime, boy and man
And this final trawl scarcely makes a cran


ENDING: REPEAT FIRST VERSE, RESOLVE WITH A FINAL "1" CHORD
