Come all you jolly fishermen that plough the rovin’ sea
The whole year round on the fishing ground
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deep
The banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Where the herring shoals are found.
 
It′s there you'll find the Norfolk lads and the boys from Peterhead
There′s Buckie chiels and men frae Shields
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deep
On the banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Where the herring shoals are found
 
From Fraserburgh and Aberdeen, and round by Yarmouth Town
The fleet's away at the break o’ day
To the Northern Minch and the Norway Deep
The banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Where the herring shoals are found
 
It's off with your boiler full of steam, your engine spic and span
To fish the ground on the North Sea round
Fish and knolls and the North Sea Holes
Try your luck in the North Shields Gut
Wi’ your catch of a hundred cran
 
No need to wait for the wind and tide, you′re the master o’ the sea
Come gale or squall, just shoot and haul
Fill your hold with the fish to be sold
Steam ahead for the curing shed
And the buyers on the Yarmouth quay
 
Come all you jolly fishermen that plough the rovin’ sera
The whole year round on the fishing ground
On the Northern Minch and the Norway Deep
The banks and knolls of the North Sea Holes
Where the herring shoals are found
 
It’s up at the dawn wi’ your sea boots on
