As we were afishing 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 queen(king)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
