Fisherman’s Daughter

A fisherman's daughter was she

Knew the boat by the day she was three

Her father would take her along

With pride in his heart his daughter grew strong

And he'd sing, sing, sing her a song

Sing, sing pretty girl cast a net with your song

The fish in the ocean follow along

Sing, sing pretty girl sweet melodious sound

The sun has gone down the fish gather round

The sun has gone down

Seventeen years now a maiden was she

Spent her days on the banks of the sea

Her father he called out her name

Daughter here is my boat you can fish just the same

And sing, sing, sing like I sang

A tall handsome sailor was he

Spied the maiden in her boat so pretty

The sailor man gave her a ring

With love in their hearts they married that spring

And he'd sing, sing, sing her a song

Sing, sing pretty girl cast a net with your song

The fish in the ocean follow along

Sing, sing pretty girl sweet melodious sound

The sun has gone down the fish gather round

The sun has gone down

The fisherman's daughter went to fish the deep sea

On the day that she learned a mother she would be

But storm clouds rolled she rocked in the waves

And she reached for his voice through her watery grave

Sing, sing pretty girl cast a net with your hair

The fish in the ocean follow you there

Sing, sing pretty girl sweet melodious sound

The sun has gone down the fish gather round

The sun has gone down the fish gather round
