lyrics

(Verse 1)
Fisherman, wait for me, take me sailing on the restless sea.
Jig the tuna, fight the blues, I will always tip my hat to you
Take me now, the seagulls cry, for the morning sun is breaking in the sky.

(Verse2)
Earn your living friend; sell the fish you've caught,
Get your price for every shark you've caught.
My respect you've earned, while the sea's earned yours,
In the dark of night off an ancient shore, waiting, quietly,
while the howling wind is tearing up the sea.

(Verse3)
Spread your lures beneath, a December sky
Soon the codfish will begin to die.
There are few who toil in the way you do,
Even hungry gulls who follow you, hang glide in the sky,
watching from the corner of their eyes.

(Verse 4)
When your skin is burned, by the summer sun,
You'll be netting weakfish one by one.
And your reels will fly, and your rods will bend,
Fisherman, wave hello to a friend;
Yes, Fisherman, I want to be a fisherman like you.
Hey fisherman, there not left many fishermen like you
don’t leave me standing on the dry land.
