Irish Rovers - Fiddler's Green - Текст песни

As I walked by the dockside one evening so rare

To view the still waters and take the salt air

I heard an old fisherman singing this song,

Oh take me away boys, me time is not long

(chorus): Lock me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks Ill be seen

Just tell me old shipmates Im takin a trip mates

Ill see you someday in Fiddlers Green

Oh in Fiddlers Green is a place Ive heard tell

 Where sailormen go if they dont go to hell

Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play

 And the cold coast of Greenland is far far away

(chorus)

Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gale 

And the fish jump on board with a swish of their tails 

Where you lie at your leisure - there's no work to do 

And the skipper's below making tea for the crew

 (chorus)

Oh and when you are docked and the long trip is through

Theres pubs and theres clubs and theres lassies there too

Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free

And theres bottles of rum growin off every tree

(chorus)

Oh I dont want a harp nor a halo, not me

Just give me a breeze and a good rollin sea

And Ill play me auld squeezebox as we sail along

With the wind in the riggin to sing me this song

(chorus)
