Fiddlers green

As i walked by the dock side one evening so fair

To view the salt waters and take the salt air

I heard an old fisherman singin' a song

Oh take me away boys, me time is not long

Refrein

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks i'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates i'm takin' a trip mates

And i 'll see you some day in fiddler's green

Now fiddler's green is a place i've heard tell

Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell

Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play

And the cold coast of greenland is far, far away

(Refrein)

Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale

And the fish jump on board with one swish of their tale

Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do

And the skipper's below making tea for the crew

(Refrein)

When you get 0n the docks and the long trip is through

There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too

Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is free

And there's bottles of rum growing from every

Tree

(Refrein)

Now l don't want a harp nor a halo, not me

Just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea

I'll play me old squeeze box as we sail along

With the wind in the riggin' to sing me a song

(Refrein)

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks i'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates i'm takin' a trip mates

And i 'll see you some day in fiddler's green
