Fisher Davie
Well he threw his net in the early morn
Drinking bright and early
To catch a glint of the rising sun
Where are you fisher Davie
and to the east in the dawning sky
Drinking bright and early
A ship it sailed the ocean wide
in search of fisher Davie.
Chorus
For a fishing man can never die
He just sails away
No a fishing man can never die
sail on sail away.
Now with the first throw of his net
Drinking bright and early
Three golden fishes he did catch
Good on ye fisher Davie
and from the ocean dept did swim
Drinking bright and early
a mermaid with a silver ring
For old man fisher Davie
Now with that ship well he did sail
Drinking bright and early
With mates of old from bygone days
so long fisher Davie
Dark nights upon the ocean wide
Drinking bright and early
You may see that ship a drifting by
Sail on fisher Davie
