1. As I went a walking one evening so rare To view the still waters and taste the salt air I heard an old fisherman singing this song Sayin', "Take me away boys, my time is not long. 2. Now fiddler's green is a place I've heard tell Where fishermen go if they don't go to hell Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play And the cold coast of Greenland is far far away. |
3. Where the weather is fair and there's never a gale Where the fish jump on board with a swish of their tail You lie at your leisure there's no work to do While the skipper's below makin' tea for the crew. 4. I don't need a harp nor a halo not me Just give me a breeze and a good rollin' sea I'll play me old squeeze box as we sail along And the wind in the riggin' will sing me this song.... |

Refrain: Wrap me up in me oil skins and blankets No more on the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates, I'm takin' a trip mates And I'll see you someday on fiddler's green." |
