that we harvest and reap our bread
C

As we hunt the pony shores of Herring
G
C
D
It was an affair and a pleasant day
G
D
Out of Yarmouth Harbour I was farin'
G
C
Am
D
G
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
C
D
For to hunt the bonnie shoals of Herring
G
Now the work was hard
C
D
G
an d the hours were long
And the treatment sure it
D
took some bearin'
G
C
Am
D
G
And I used to sleep standing on my feet
C
D
As I dreamed about the shoals of herring
G
Now we left the home grounds
C
D
G
in the month of June
And for canny shields we
D
soon were bearing
G
With a hundred crown
C
D
G
of the silver darling
That we've taken from the
C

shoals of herring

Now you're up on deck,

And you're following the shoals of herring

You can swear or show a manly pairing

Take your turn on deck with

the other fellas
As you're searching

for the shoal of herring

On the stormy seas and the living gales

I earned the gear that I was wearing
G

Sailed ten thousand miles,

caught ten million fishes
C

As we hunted for the shoals of herring
And it's night and day
D

we're faring

Come winter wave or winter gale

Sweating or cold,
