The Fisherman's Daughter

©2013 Robert Randall Burke


Heave-ho
Mind how you go
If you want to make it to Gloucester
Hold fast
Pull with your last
And you'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

The summer was long way out on the Banks
We've come about, heading for home
Safe ashore, he'll wander no more
For he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

The lighthouse will welcome us home from the sea
The wives will be waitin' ashore
This will be the last trip for thee
For you'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

Trust in God
And a hold full of cod
The Banks never seen such a slaughter
With brass in our pockets
And a girl on each arm
But he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.


The summer was long way out on the Banks
We've come about, heading for home
Safe ashore, he'll wander no more
For he'll marry the fisherman's daughter.

Mr. Robert Randall Burke,

You step it up a bit more each time.

One of the best mixes I've heard here. Ever. The writing is gorgeous. "We've come about" by itself would make this well written. The vocal is beautiful - one leg and a quilt, I imagine.

What drum style is that? All RTs? you had to have played the opening lead instrument (what is it?). And where do the strings come from? I can't find the seagull track...

Not sure it gets any better than this.

The lead instrument in the beginning is a harp from Garritan, the strings were Garritan as well.


It's not easy singing while standing on one leg with a quilt over one's head.

Hi Robert,

tune and lyrics are like a forgotten folksong.
They transport a special mood.
And your good voice and the interesting mix
make it a very enjoyable listen.
