Irish Song Lyrics

North Sea Holes Ewan MacColl 
Come all you gallant fishermen that plough the stormy sea, The whole year round on the fishing grounds On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes Where the herring shoals are found 
It's there you'll find the Norfolk boys and the lads from Peterhead, There's Buckie chiels and men from Shields, On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes Where the herring shoals are found 
From Fraserborough and Aberdeen, from Whitby, Yarmouth Town, The fleet's away at the break of day To the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, To the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes Where the herring shoals are found 
It's off with a boiler full of steam and your engine spic and span To fish the grounds the North Sea round And fish and knolls and the North Sea Holes And try your luck at the North Shields Gut With a catch of a hundred cran 
No need to wait for the wind and tide, you're the master of the sea, Come calm or squall, just shoot and haul And fill the hold with the fish to be sold And steam ahead for the curing shed And the buyers on the Yarmouth quay 
Come all you gallant fishermen that plough the stormy sea, The whole year round on the fishing grounds On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deeps, On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes Where the herring shoals are found
