Pedro, The Fisherman

Pedro, The Fisherman - Julie Andrews

Pedro the fisherman was always

Whistling such a merry call

Girls who are passing by would here

Him whistling by the harbor wall

But his sweetheart Nina who loved him true

Always knew that his song belonged to her alone

And in the evening when the lights were gleaming

And they had to part

As he sailed his boat away echoing across the bay

Came the tune that lingered in her heart

So they wandered hand in hand

You in love understand

Why it was he whistled all the day

When they kissed and said goodnight

As she waved him out of sight

She could hear that whistle all the way

The days of dreaming quickly

Passed and life goes rushing on

And one day from the harbor

Wall she found his boat had gone

He'd sailed away to find the gold

The sea could never bring

To buy a dress a cuckoo clock

A saucepan and a ring

One day her father said to her oh

Dearest daughter mine

You never make a lot from fish

You make much more from wine

The Miguel is rather fat his vineyard's doing well

So marry him and let your

Dreams of Pedro go to hell

The organ peels the choir boys sing

The priest is ready with the book and ring

So small and white here comes the bride

And stands by suave Miguel's side

Will you have this man to be your

Lawful spouse eternally

And suddenly the church is still

They wait to hear her say I will

When through the open doorway there

A far off sound disturbs the air

Suddenly she found her man

From the church out she ran

There he was upon the harbor wall

Down rushed the wedding guests upon the key side

But the bride had gone

As with love she sailed away

Echoing across the bay

Came the happy ending to her song
