My lover [D] was [A] a fisher lad [E] when he came [A] ashore [Bm] He [A] always stared to me [E] to greet me [A] at my door
[Bm] And he knew I [A] loved him well [E] as [A] anyone could see
Oh but I was plain [E] when he came a [A]-callin' me
[F#m] [E] It [A] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _
[A] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _
[A] _ was on one lovely morning, [E] one [A] mornin' in [D] May
[A] He took me in his fishing [E] boat out [A] on the bay
And told me of his love as we [E]
[A] waddled with the tide
And before the month was over [E]
I looked [A] me in the [F#m] eye
[E] _ [A] The [F#m] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ ships come sailing, [E] the ships they [A] sailed away
And the fishermen they sang their [E] songs out [A] on Whitby Bay
And the fishermen they all were there [E] so [A] happy I would be
Living with my fisher [E] lad down [A] beside the [F#m] [E] sea
[A] _ _
[F#m] _ [E] [A] The journey left, _ [F#m] _ [E] _ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ but for the last of knowing [E] I sank [A] on the lanes
They dragged him to a mallow [Em] o'er a barrow [A] by a chain
Irons on his [E] hands, [A] irons on his feet
They carried him aboard [E] to fight in [A] the fleet
[F#m] [E] The [A] _ _ [F#m] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ ships come sailing, [E] the ships they [A] sailed away
And the fishermen they sang their [E] songs out [A] on Whitby Bay
And the fishermen they all were there so [E] [A] happy I would be
Living with my fisher [E]
lad down [A] beside the sea

_ My [F#m] mother often [A] talks [E] of the perils [A] of the main
[D] My [A] mother says she hopes [E] he will come [A] back again
But I know he never will, [E] for in [A] my dreams I see
His body lying low [E] at the bottom [A] of the [F#m] sea
[E] [A] The _ [F#m] _
[E] _ [A] _ _ ships come sailing, [E] the ships they sailed [A] away
[D] And the [A] fishermen they sang their [E] songs out [A] on Whitby Bay
[A] And the fishermen they all were there [E] so [A] happy I would be
Living with my fisher [E] lad [A] down beside [F#m] the sea

_ _ [D] when the [A] house is still and [E]
[A] everyone's asleep
[D] I sit upon my [A] bed and [E] most merrily [A] I weep
[D] And I [A] think on my true love [E] at the [A] bottom of the sea
For he'll never, nevermore [E]
come [A] again to _ [F#m] [E] me

[E] _ [A] _ The ships come sailing, [E] the ships they [A] sailed away
[A] And the fishermen they sang their [E] songs out [A] on Whitby Bay
[D] But for me [A] my heart is broken and [E] I [D] only wish [A] to be
Lying low with my fisher lad [E] at the bottom [A] of the sea
