Three Fishers lyrics

Three fishers went sailing

Out into the west,

Out into the west

As the sun went down,

Each thought on the woman

That loves him the best,

And the children stood watching

Them out of the town.

(REF:)

For men must work

And women must weep,

For there's little to earn

And many to keep,

And the harbor bar

Be moaning.

Three wives sat up

In the lighthouse tower,

They trimmed the lamps

As the sun went down,

And they looked at the squall

And they looked at the shower,

And the night-wrack came rolling in

Ragged and brown.

(REF)

Three corpses lay out

On the shining sand,

In the morning gleam

As the tide went down,

And the women were weeping

And wringing their hands,

For those who would never

Come back to the town.
