The fisherman are pitchin' penniesIn the sand beside the seaThe sunrise hits their oilskin bootsAnd their painted boats and meThey seem to know the oceanLike a man knows a womanShe makes him wait aroundFor half the mornin' for the tide to turnPull on the ropes, Seine haul fishermanNever catches more than he knows he can sell in a dayPull in the nets, Seine haul fishermanDay's for work and night's the time to go dancingThey're drinkin' beer and laughin'And squintin' at the sunWaitin' for the gulls to tell themWhen the fish will comeTheir faces brown and weatheredFrom all the nets they've runThey've learned to waitThey always know that the tide will turnPull on the ropes, Seine haul fishermanNever catches more than he knows he can sell in a dayPull in the nets, Seine haul fishermanDay's for work and night's the time to go dancingPull in the ropes, Seine haul fishermanNever catches more than he knows he can sell in a dayPull in the nets, Seine haul fishermanDay's for work and night's the time to go dancingWay out on the oceanThe big ships hunt for whalesThe Japanese have caught so manyThat now they hunt for snailsMy fisherman's not greedyThey seem content to liveWith the sun and the sandAnd a net full of fishes when the tide turnsPull in the ropes, Seine haul fishermanNever catches more than he knows he can sell in a dayPull in the nets, Seine haul fishermanDay's for work and night's the time to go dancingPull in the ropes, Seine haul fishermanNever catches more than he knows he can sell in a dayPull in the nets, Seine haul fishermanDay's for work and night's the time to go dancing
