Testo Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's GreenAs I walked by the dockside one evening so fairTo view the salt waters and take the salt airI heard an old fisherman singing a song'Oh take me away boys, me time is not long'Chorus:Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumpersNo more on the docks I'll be seenJust tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip matesAnd I'll see you some day on Fiddler's GreenNow Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tellWhere the fishermen go if they don't go to hellWhere the skies are all clearAnd the dolphins do playAnd the cold coast of Greenland is far, far awayChorus,Where the skies are all clear and there's never a galeAnd the fish jump on boardWith one swish of their tailWhere you lie at your leisure there's no work to doAnd the skipper's below making tea for the crewChorus,When you get back on docksAnd the long trip is throughThere's pubs and there's clubsAnd there's lassies there tooWhere the girls are all pretty and the beer it is freeAnd there's bottles of rum growing from every treeChorus,Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not meJust give me a breeze on a good rolling seaI'll play me old squeezebox as we sail alongWith the wind in the rigging to sing me a songChorus.
