Reg has kindly let me have the lyrics to post on here for you. Such a nice guy.

Twelve silk handkerchiefs

She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each month of the year
For the twelve holy fishermen keeping her loved ones from fear
For the wives and the mothers of justice who stood at her arm
And one for each angel preparing her last journey home

She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each hour of the day
And one for each hour of the night when her man was away
For the twelve christmas days that her boy was out trawling the sea
And the years of the sickness her daughter endured silently

She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs for those who stood by her she’d say
And one for each year since the last working ship sailed away
For the women and orphans so cruelly bereaved by the sea
And the tears of the few who will stand at her graveside and weep
                                                                           
She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs all for the company men
In their temples of greed she battled and beat in the end
And for all of the men and the boys who are called by the sea
She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs to bring them home safely to thee

She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each month of the year
For the twelve holy fishermen keeping her loved ones from fear
And for all of the men and the boys who are called by the sea
She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs to bring them home safely to thee
