Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home

Onto the sea
Under the sun
Into the ocean

Straight into the rum

Where, where do they go?

Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home
Into the sea

Covered in brine
Into the open
Hauling the lines


Sail, sail, sailor beware


Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?
Headed for home

Into the wind
Onto the wakes
Under the gale, boys

Gathering breaks

Sail, sail, sailor beware

Sail, sail, sailor beware

Way, swept away

Into the ocean
Pulled to the brave
Gather the sea

A watery grave
Under the foam
Holds the luck of this age


Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware


Where, where do they go?
Where are the fishermen gone?

Resting at home
Deep in the lungs
Just out of reach

Singing a song
Singing a song
A song for the sea


Sail, sail, sailor beware
Sail, sail, sailor beware

Sail, sail, sailor beware
