Three Fishers - The Duhks

Three Fishers - The Duhks
Three fishers went sailing out into the west
Out into the west as the sun went down
Each thought on the woman that loved him the best and
The children stood watching them out on the town
For men
Must work
And women must weep
For there's little to earn and many to keep
And the harbour bar be moanin'
The harbour bar be moanin'
Three wives sat up
In the lighthouse tower
They trimmed
The lamps as the sun went down and
They dark at the squall and they looked at the shower and
The night wrack came rollin' in ragged and brown
Men must work
Women must weep
For the storms be sudden and the waters be deep
And the harbour bar be moanin'
The harbour bar be moanin'
Men must work
Women must weep
For the storms be sudden and the waters be deep
And the harbour bar be moanin'
The harbour bar be moanin'
Three corpses lay out
On the shining sand
In the morning gleam
As the tide
Went down
And the women were weepin'
And wringin' their hands
For those who would never come back to the town
Men
Must work
Women must weep
For the sooner it's over
The sooner to sleep
And goodbye to the bar
And it's moanin'
Goodbye to the bar and it's moanin'
The men
Must work
Women must weep
For the sooner it's over
The sooner to sleep
And goodbye to the bar
And it's moanin'
Goodbye to the bar and it's moanin'
