Thread Name: Origins: Three Fishers (Charles Kingsley)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Three Fishers (Charles Kingsley)
I have compared the lyrics posted by arnowitt above to the words of the poem as published in Charles Kingsley's "Poems" (1856), page 235 (which you can view at Google Book Search) and I can see only 2 differences:

Verse 1 lines 6-7:

And there's little to earn, and many to keep,
Though the harbour bar be moaning.
