The Fish of the Sea

Come all you young sailor men, listen to me
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea! And it's

[Chorus]
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes!

[Verse 1]
Up jumps the eel with his slippery tail
He climbs up aloft as he reefs the topsail!
Then up jumps the shark with his nine rows of teeth
Saying, "You eat the dough boys, and I'll eat the beef!" And it's

[Chorus]
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes!

[Verse 2]
Up jumps the cod with his chuckle-head
He runs out up forward and throws out the lead!
The up jumps the herring, the king of the sea
Saying, "All other fishes, now you follow me!" And it's

[Chorus]
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes!

[Verse 3]
Up jumps the whale, the largest of all
"If you want any wind, well, I'll blow ye a squall"
Then up jumps the fisherman, stalwart and grim
And with his big net, he scoops them all in! And it's

[Chorus]
Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes!

Windy weather, boys, stormy weather, boys
When the wind blows, we're all together, boys
Blow ye winds westerly, blow ye winds, blow
Jolly sou'wester, boys, steady she goes!
