[Intro]

[Verse]
Em D Em D Em
A' the week your man's awa' and a' the week you bide alane
D Em D Em
A' the time you're waiting for the minute that he's coming hame
D Em D Em
Ye ken whit why he has tae work ye ken the hours he has tae keep
D A Em D G Em D A Em D A
And yet it maks ye angry when ye see him just come hame tae sleep
[Verse]
Em D Em D Em
Through the months and through the years, while you're bringing up the bairns
D Em D Em
Your man's awa' tae here and there a-following the shoals of herrin’s
D Em D Em
And when he's back there's nets tae mend you've maybe got a score or twa
D A Em D G Em D A Em D A
And when they're done, he'll rise and say wife it's time I was awa'
[Verse]
Em D Em D Em
Work and wait and dree yer weird, and pin yer faith in herring sales
D Em D Em
And oft times lie awake at nicht in fear and dread of winter gales
D Em D Em
But men maun work tae earn their breid and men maun sweat to gain their fee
D A Em D G Em D A Em D A
And fishermen will aye gang oot as lang as fish swim in the sea
