Fiddler's Green Lyrics - Upon A Shamrock Shore: Songs Of Ireland And The Irish - Irish Rovers

As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair 

To view the salt waters and take in the salt air 

I heard an old fisherman singing a song 

Oh, take me away boys me time is not long 

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 

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 on Fiddlers Green 

Now Fiddlers Green is a place I've heard tell 

Where the fishermen go if they don't go to hell 

Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play 

And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 

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 on Fiddlers Green 

Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail 

And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail 

Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do 

And the skipper's below making tea for the crew 

Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper 

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 on Fiddlers Green 

Now I don't want a harp nor a halo, not me 

Just give me a breeze on a good rolling sea 

I'll play me old squeeze-box as we sail along 

With the wind in the riggin' to sing me a song
