Maybe not 100% correct, but a bit better than the above version: Fare thee well the Firth of Fourth And all the pubs and lassies too We'll trawl the Northern Seas And seek for harbours, though they're few [Chorus 1] Oh, we'll fight the wind and rain So here we go again There's beer enough to drink But never time to see it through Pray god we'll see some land To rest a while and try their brew [Chorus 1] The shipping forecast says Gale force winds and stormy seas We'll take a break ashore The Faroe Isle, let's let it be [Chorus 1] We'll make a run for shore Maybe cramps may damp her so May make a few men sour To a bigger town, so away we go [Chorus 1] [Instrumental] Farewell the Faroe Isles We saw the sun, we felt the wind And though we often tried We often tried but never sinned And farewell land-to-leave And through the laughter and the smiles We'll think in harmony Of people in the Faroe Isles [Chorus 2] And still we must go on We'll fight the sea, the wind and rain And still we must go on So let us be away again We'll go away again Bright coloured houses stand Together in Torshaven's bay They all day pulled in there Where there's no spot to spend your pay There's dry-fish for your tea There's dry-fish for your lunch, my dear For dinner there's dry-fish When it comes to it, they dry your beer [Chorus 2] And again and again and again and again and again and again
