1. Row, row Fisherman row,
The tide is high the wind is low,
And the moon is full to grace the night,
And the herring, he loves the silver light;
Good luck to your fishing
The fond wife is wishing,
Where ever you roam while you rock in the deep
The baby's a sleep,
And the cradle is rocking at home,
Hush O! hush O! hush O!

2. Throw, throw, Fisherman, throw
Your nets to the swarming deep below;
Heave O! heave O! the lead and float,
Sound be your net and safe your boat;
Good luck to your fishing
The fond wife is wishing
Wherever you roam.
While you rock on the deep
The baby's asleep
And the cradle is rocking at home
Hush O! hush O! hush O!
