THE FISHERMAN OF GLOUCESTER
(traditional - from Blending Voices - The Music of the World)

The Fish-er-man of Glouces-ter has weath-ered man-y gales
He's gaz-ing t'ward the o-pen sea and look-ing for the sails
Of the fish-ing boats of Glouces-ter, from the port of miss-ing men;
The fish-ing boats of Glouces-ter that will nev-er come a-gain

The Fish-er-man of Glouces-ter has nei-ther hopes nor fears:
He gaz-es t'ward the storm-y banks and out a-cross the years.
For his heart is with the sail-ors in the port of miss-ing men;
The fish-ing boats of Glouces-ter that will nev-er come a-gain
