Lyrics by：Traditional

Composed by：Traditional

As we were a-fishing off happisburgh light

Shooting and hauling and trawling all night

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

When up jumped a herring the queenking of the sea

Says now old skipper you cannot catch me

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

We sighted a thresher-a-slashin' his tail

Time now old skipper to hoist up your sail

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

And up jumps a slipsole as strong as a horse

Says now old skipper you're miles off course

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

Then along comes plaice-who's got spots on his side

Says not much longer-these seas you can ride

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

Then up rears a conger-as long as a mile

Winds coming east'ly-he says with a smile

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together

I think what these fishes are sayin' is right

We'll haul up our gear now an' steer for the light

In the windy old weather stormy old weather

When the wind blows we all pull together
