Fisherman's Son Written by Jimmy Rankin CD - The Rankin Family, Fare Thee Well Love, Capital, EMI Copyright Co' Bhan Music Company Limited - SOCAN Submitted by: Ron A. MacLellan Capo 4th Fret use a G with three fingers not with four I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways I fished with my father in my young days I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same The sea is my lifeline the shore is my home I've been to your cities I didn't stay long I stared at the bright lights the dark city ways I'll tell you that's not for me, no I didn't stay Chorus: Singing La La La La La La, La La La La La La La Some days are rough so we roll with the waves This living is tough, slack is the pay But we leave with the sunrise, we wake at the dawn Singing the fisherman's song Chorus I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's blood Just hauling the lobster, jigging the cod And if you don't like me then leave me alone And I'll go on singing my fisherman's song Chorus (twice) I'm a fisherman's son got fisherman's ways I fished with my father in my young days I learned the fine craft of the fisherman's trade Just to pass to my son so he'll do the same Chorus (twice with no music) Chorus (twice with music) La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La end
