Dublin Fair - Fisher Davy

Dublin Fair - Fisher Davy

-LYRICS-
Well he threw his net in the early morn
Drinking bright and early
To catch a glimpse of the rising sun
Where are you fisher Davy
and to the east in the dawning sky
Drinking bright and early
A ship it sailed the ocean wide
in search of fisher Davy

-Chorus:
For a fisherman can never die
He just sails away
A fisherman can never die
heave me lads away
No a fisherman can never die
sail on sail away.
A fisherman can never die
heave me lads away-

Into the east in the dawning sky
Drinking bright and early
A ship it sailed the ocean wide
in search of fisher Davy

Now with the first throw of his net
Drinking bright and early
Three golden fishes he did catch
Good on ye fisher Davy
and from the ocean dept did swim
drinking bright and early
a mermaid with a silver ring
For old man fisher Davy

-Chorus-

and from the ocean dept did swim
drinking bright and early
a mermaid with a silver ring
For old man fisher Davie

Now with that ship well he did sail
Drinking bright and early
With mates of old from bygone days
sail on fisher Davy
Dark nights upon the ocean wide
Drinking bright and early
I see that ship a drifting by
Sail on fisher Davy

-Chorus-x2

For a fisherman can never die
Sail on sail away
