Trawlerman's Song

I love coming home from far across the sea

I pick my little wee wifey up

and set her on my knee

See how my eldest boy has grown

whilst I've been away

See here's a boat I've whittled for thee,

especially for thee

I've thought of you everyday

I love coming home from far across the sea

And taking up my walking cane

and passing through the trees.

I wander on the hillside,

the doggie at my heel,

The bracken waves a welcome to me

'where have you been

we've missed you a great deal'

I love coming home from far across the sea

I pick my little wee wifey up

and set her on my knee
