O, it was a fine and a pleasant day Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring O, I earned my keep and I paid my way And I earned the gear that I was wearing Sailed a million miles, caught ten-million fishes As we hunted in the shoals of herring Night and day the seas we're darin Come wind or calm or winter gale Sweating or cold Growing up, growing old or dying As we hunted the bonny shoals of herring
