My old friend Vince Morash from Novia Scotia composed one when he was a trawler man. It really had more to do with drinking rum and coordinating the net hauling (copy and paste into WORD/TIMES/12 to line up chords):

Haul Away the Nets


Chorus:

C
Haul away the nets!
F--------------------C
Strain your bloody guts!
-------------------------------------G
There's lots of fish below to be rais-ed;
C
Fishing is great fun,
----------F
There's blood and guts and rum,
---------G-----------------G7--------------C
And we work and drink and work until we're paid!


C-----------------------------F
I'm ankle deep in fish and if I could have me wish,
--C---------------------G
I swear by the tail of a cod;
----C-----------------------------G
If I had another chance I'd be working at a bank,
---G----------------------G7------C
Or maybe just a farmer tossing sod. (CHO)


I'm knee deep in mackerel and I don't need a tackle,
Just a great big net and some men;
You see, the fish trap is a bowl, the fish swim in the hole,
And they never ever gets to swim again. (CHO)

Now I'm waist deep in this mess and me stomach's gonna retch
And a squid just shot me in the eye;
Fish slipping down me pants, makes a fellow wanna dance,
So I guess we best be home before the tide. (CHO)

Yes, fishing is great fun, if you like dark rum,
For it's the fuel that drives us along;
But if the winds do blow, you can betcha we won't go,
We'll just sit around and drink, and sing this song. (CHO)
