Judy Collins - Fisherman Song Lyrics
The fisherman are pitchin' pennies
In the sand beside the sea
The sunrise hits their oilskin boots
And their painted boats and me
Like a man knows a woman
She makes him wait around
For half the mornin' for the tide to turn
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 and night's the time to go dancing
They're drinkin' beer and laughin'
Waitin' 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
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 and night's the time to go dancing
Pull in 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 and night's the time to go dancing
Way out on the ocean
The big ships hunt for whales
The Japanese have caught so many
That now they hunt for snails
My fisherman's not greedy
They seem content to live
With the sun and the sand
And a net full of fishes when the tide turns
Pull in 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 and night's the time to go dancing
Pull in 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 and night's the time to go dancing

Judy Collins Fisherman Song Comments
Of all her songs, for some reason I like this one best. Also, her sesame street clip with this song is timeless.
7 down votes? Prolly cuz they thought it was a video of a live performance!

Esta preciosa canción fue durante años la sintonía del programa radiofónico español 'Vuelo 605', de Ángel Álvarez.
