The fisherman are pitching pennies in the sand beside the sea And the sunrise hits their oilskin boots, their painted boats and me And they seem to know the ocean like a man knows a woman She makes him wait around for half the morning for the tide to turn [Chorus] Pull on the ropes, seine haul fisherman Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day Pull in the nets, seine haul fisherman Day's for work, night's the time to go dancing They're drinking beer and laughing and squinting at the sun Waiting for the gulls to tell them when the fish will come Their faces brown and weathered from all the nets they've run They've learned to wait, they always know that the tide will turn [Chorus] Now way out on the ocean the big ships hunt for whales And the Japanese have caught so many now they hunt for snails But my fisherman's not greedy he seems content to live With the sun and the sand and a net full of fishes when the tide turns [Chorus] Oh, yes pull on the ropes, seine haul fisherman Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day Oh, and pull in the nets, seine haul fisherman Day's for work, night's the time to go dancing
