Fiddler's Green

As I walked down the dockside one evenin' so fair
 To view the still waters and take the salt air
 I heard an old fisherman singin' this song
 Saying, "Take me away boys. Me time is not long."
 Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
 No more on the docks I'll be seen
 Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin' a trip, mates
 And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
 Now, Fiddler's Green is a place, I've heard tell
 Where fishermen go if they don't go to hell
 Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play
 And the cold coasts of Greenland are far, far away
 Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
 No more on the docks I'll be seen
 Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin' a trip, mates
 And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
 Yes, the weather is fair and there's never a gale
 And the fish jump aboard with one swish of their tail
 You can lie in your hammock, there's no work to do
 And the skipper's below makin' tea for the crew
 Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
 No more on the docks I'll be seen
 Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin' a trip, mates
 And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
 Now, I don't need a harp nor a halo, not me
 Just give me a ship and a good rollin' sea
 And I'll play me old squeeze-box as we roll along
 With the wind in the riggin' to sing me a song
 Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
 No more on the docks I'll be seen
 Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin' a trip, mates
 And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
 Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
 No more on the docks I'll be seen
 Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin' a trip, mates
 And I'll see you one day in Fiddler's Green
