Why don't you want me
my lady
because I'm a fisherman?
I'm a bit of a troublemaker
as a fisherman and sailor is
And you dare to think
that you won't be well off with me
I have a small boat
with oars and a sail
and I fish every night
alone with the fishing line
And I sell the fish I catch
in the market
And if I walk barefoot
don't look at me and laugh
I know how to look after
the woman that I'll have
And to cater to her happiness
no matter if I'm a fisherman
