Intro:        


Verse:
                             
If the waves roll rough as in days before
                          
Still we put our boats to sea
                               
The take has been tough, we're counting on more
                       
To make the season pay


Verse:
It was back in '83 my brothers and me
laid our poor father in his grave
Even though he's dead and gone, his voice lives on
In the hiss and pull of the waves

Chorus:
                     
We'll carry on, carry on
                                      
sing these words through all the damage done
                                     
The old salt would say, I my father's son
                
Come hell or high water
             
We'll carry on,


Verse:
In smokey gray rooms, beneath bare lightbulbs, 
The accusations fly
What the hell do they want, they've taken enough
From this way of life once mine

Chorus
 /BC        

Verse:
It's a merciless scheme, not a fisherman's dream
The way the tide has turned
For not long before, by these restless shores
A man could his living earn

Chorus

Ending:
            
Hell or high water 
            
Hell or high water 
            
Hell or high water 
               
we'll carry
