As I walked by the dockside One evenin' so fair To view the still waters And taste the salt air I heard an old fisherman singing this song: "Oh, take me away boys, me time is not long Wrap me up in the oilskins and blankets No more at the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip, mates And I'll see you someday In Fiddler's Green" Now Fiddler's Green is a Place I've heard tell Where fisherman go if they don't go to hell Where the weather is fair and The dolphins do play And the cold coast of Greenland is far Far away And when you're in dock and The long trip is through There's pubs and there's clubs And there's lassies there, too The girls are all pretty and The beer is all free And there's bottles of rum Growing on every tree "Wrap me up in the oilskins and blankets No more on the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip, mates And I'll see you someday In Fiddler's Green" And no I don't want a harp or a halo, not me Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea And I'll play me old squeezebox As we sail along With the wind in the rigging To sing me this song "Wrap me up in the oilskins and blankets No more at the docks I'll be seen Just tell me old shipmates I'm taking a trip, mates And I'll see you someday In Fiddler's Green"
