As we hunt the bonny shoals of herring
Oh it was a fine and a pleasent day
You're a fisherman
with the other fellas
As you're hunting for
G

the shoals of herring
Now we fished the swarth
and the broken bank
G
C
As we hunted for the shoals of herring
We left the homegrounds in
the month of June
That we'd taken from
G
C
the shoals of herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
Just to earn your daily
And you're hunting for
G
C
the shoals of herring
Well I earned me keep and I paid me way
Caught ten million fishes
We were hunting after shoals
G
C
of herring
You're net ropeman now
Or you're on the move
And you're learning all
Scraps of navigation

As you hunt the bonny shoals of herring
C

Come wind or calm or winter gale
Sweating or cold

Growing up, growing old or dying
