The Final Trawl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now it's three lang years since we made her pay
Heave away my laddie o
And the owners say that she's had her day
And sing haul away my laddie o
So it's heave away for the final trawl
Heave away my laddie o
It's an easy pull for the catch is small
And sing haul away my laddie o
And we'll join the venture and the morning star
Heave away my laddie o
Riding high and empty before the bar
And sing haul away my laddie o
And I'd rather beach her on the skerry rock
Heave away my laddie o
Than see her torched in the breakers dock
And sing haul away my laddie o
And when I die you can lay me down
Heave away my laddie o
In a rusty hold where the breakers pound
And sing haul away my laddie o
For I've fished a lifetime boy and man
Heave away my laddie o
And the final trawl scarcely nets a cran
And sing haul away my laddie o
