lyrics

As I walked out one May morning
Down by the riverside,
It’s there I spied a fisherman
Come rolling down the tide.
(It’s there I spied a fisherman
Come rolling down the tide.)

Good morning to you, bold fisherman,
Good morning he did say
What brought you down so far from home,
So early in the morn?
(What brought you down so far from home,
So early in the morn?)

Then he pulled off his morning gown
And throwed it on the ground;
And then I spied three chains of gold
All round his neck hang down.
(And then I spied three chains of gold
All round his neck hang down.)

Down on my bended knees I fell
Crying: Pardon, pardon me
In calling you a fisherman
Come rolling down the sea
(In calling you a fisherman
Come rolling down the sea)

Then rise up, rise up, said he
No offence thou’st given to me
In calling me a bold fisherman
Come rolling down the sea.
(In calling me a bold fisherman
Come rolling down the sea.)

I’ll take you to some church, my dear,
And married we shall be
And you shall have your bold fisherman
To row you on the sea.
(And you shall have your bold fisherman
To row you on the sea.)
