Slua Si - Live in Silvers Pub Fiddler's Green

Текст песни "Slua Si - Live in Silvers Pub — Fiddler's Green"

As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair
To view the salt water and taste the salt air
I heard an old fisherman singing this song
O take me away boys me time is not long

Chorus:
Wrap me up in me oilskin and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates
I'm taking a trip, mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green

Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where fishermen go if they don't go to Hell
Where the sky's all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away

Chorus

When the sky's all clear so it's never a gale
And the fish jump on board with a switch of their tail
And you lie at your leisure and no work to do
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew

Chorus

When you get back in dock and the long trip is thru
There's pubs and there's clubs, and there's lassies there too
And the girls are all pretty and the beer it is free
And the bottles of rum growing from every tree

Now I don't want a harp, not a halo, not me
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea
I'll play me old squeeze box as we sail along
When the wind in the rigging to sing me this song

Chorus
