W: W:(chorus) W:And it's three score and ten, boys and men, were lost from Grimsby town, W:From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned; W:Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well, W:They long defied the bitter night, and battled with the swell. W: W:2 W:Methinks I see them yet again as they leave the land behind, W:Casting their nets into the deep, the herring shoals to find; W:Methinks I see them yet again and all on board's all right, W:With the sails close reefed and the decks cleared up and the side lights burning bright. W: W:3 W:Me thinks I've heard the skipper say, "My lads, we'll shorten sail, W:The sky to all appearances is like an approaching gale." W:Methinks I see them yet again, and the midnight hour has passed, W:And the little craft was battling there all with the icy blast. W: W:4 W:October's night was such a sight, 'twas never seen before, W:There were masts and spars and broken yards came drifting in to shore; W:There was many a heart in sorrow, there was many a heart so brave, W:There was many a valiant fisher lad did find a watery grave.
