The Fisherman's Son To The Ice Is Gone

from Monkfish Mix​-​Up At Farmers' Market by Paul Carbuncle

lyrics

The fisherman’s son to the ice is gone
On the quarter-deck you’ll find him
His belt and sheath he's girded on
And his tow-rope slung behind him

“I’ll go to the ice and I’ll catch some seals
And all the crew will join me
And when I come home I’ll bring a bill
For the girl I left behind me”

Well the ice slacked off and we got our load
Our good ship homeward steering
Flushed with success our bosom glowed
As St John’s we are nearing

Blow gentle breezes soft and clear
All ’cross the bright blue waters
And bring us to those we love so dear
Fair Terra Nova’s daughters

The fisherman’s son to the ice is gone
On the quarter-deck you’ll find him
His belt and sheath he's girded on
And his tow-rope slung behind him

“I’ll go to the ice and I’ll catch some seals
And all the crew will join me
And when I come home I’ll bring a bill
For the girl I left behind me”
