Their herring boats, their trawlers, their fishing smacks as well;
G A7 D A7 D
They went to fight the bitter night and battle with the swell.
V 1: Me thinks I see a host of craft spreading their sails a-lea,

Me thinks I see a wee small craft and crew with hearts so brave,

There was many a heart of sorrow, there was many a heart so brave,
There was many a true and noble lad to find a watery grave.
