Fiddler's Green

Fiddler's Green - Spailpin

As I walked by the dockside one evening so rare

To view the still waters and take the salt air

I surby did not fisherman singing this song

Oh take me away boys me time is not long

Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks I'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin a trip mates

I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green

Oh in Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell

Where sailormen 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

Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks I'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin a trip mates

I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green

Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks I'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin a trip mates

I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green

Oh and when you are docked and the long trip is through

There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too

Where the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free

And there's bottles of rum growin off every tree

Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks I'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin a trip mates

I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green

Oh I don't want a harp nor a halo not me

Just give me a breeze and a good rollin sea

And I'll play me auld squeezebox as we sail along

With the wind in the riggin to sing me this song

Dress me up in me oilskins and jumper

No more on the docks I'll be seen

Just tell me old shipmates I'm takin a trip mates

I'll see you someday in Fiddler's Green
