‘Snowy’ White — Legendary Fisherman
Dad’s first mate, best mate, last mate.
och, me name is Snowy White
i’m a fisherman n’that’s me pride
and doon’ye be messin’ with me
while I’m workin’ thee quayside
i’m fuckin’ hard as iron plate
nee’r in me life ‘ave i been late
gettin’ tha boat out on spring tide
though yon the harbour gate
aye tis a mixture of emotions
fishin’ out on them thee oceans
but ye’s got ta work thee shift
nae matta thee boat’s motion
that bugger workin’ on the foredeck
‘Arry, ez a newby workin’ for a cheque
all the ‘ardship’s soon forgot
thee’ lad’s learnin’ some respect
he could die an; ‘ope for ‘heaven’s lift
but first, he works ‘he’s fuckin’ shift
aye I spect he’s all ‘urt and achin’
tis wiv pain we learn ta coexist
times when cryin’ hurts thee pride
ther’s nae anywhere ta hide
ye think ye’ll end up drowned
while pukin’ oe’r thee side
thar be plenty fish poured in thee hole
nothin’ better for a fisherman’s soul
we’ll conjure up a full deep locker
or we’ll all be on thee dole
