Up jumped the herring, the king of the sea
Come all you gallant fishermen
It's up with the dawn
Years ago, you started very young
I started to go to sea in 1892
So it's off witha boiler full of steam
When the wind is freshening
What shall it profit a fisherman
It's busk ye, my lads, get you up on the deck
There's no feeling like coming into harbour
Came a'ye fisher lassies
Up jumped the herring
Cwa, ye herring fishermen
A' the week your man's away
Wi' our nets and gear
Our ships are small
Up jumped the herring, the king of the sea
Come all you gallant fishermen
It's up with the dawn
Years ago, you started very young
I started to go to sea in 1892
So it's off witha boiler full of steam
When the wind is freshening
What shall it profit a fisherman
It's busk ye, my lads, get you up on the deck
There's no feeling like coming into harbour
Came a'ye fisher lassies
Up jumped the herring
Cwa, ye herring fishermen
A' the week your man's away
Wi' our nets and gear
Our ships are small
