Chorus:
C
And it's three score and ten
Em F C
Boys and men were lost from Grimsby Town
F C
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough
G7
Many hundreds more were drowned
C
Their herring craft and trawlers
Em F C
Their fishing smacks as well
F G7
Alone they fight the bitter night
C G7 C
And battle with the swell.
C
Me thinks I see a host of craft,
Em F C
Spreading their sails at lee
F C
As down the Humber they do steer,
G7
Down for the great North Sea
C
Me thinks I see a wee small craft
Em F C
And crew with hearts so brave
F G7
They go to earn their daily bread
C G7 C
U-pon the restless waves.

C
Me thinks I see them yet again,
Em F C
As they leave this land behind
F C
Casting their nets into the sea,
G7
The herring shoals to find
C
Me thinks I see them yet again,
Em F C
And they save on board a right
F G7
With their sails close-reefed, their decks moist-cleaned
C G7 C
And their side-lights burning bright.

C
October's night brought such a sight,
Em F C
'Twas never seen before
F C
There were masts and yards and broken spars,
G7
Washed up upon the shore
C
There was many a heart of sorrow,
Em F C
There was many a heart so brave
F G7
There was many a true and noble lad
C G7 C
To find a watery grave.
