Trawlerman Lyrics

Skinny Lister Trawlerman

Your father was a handsome man
Your father was a trawlerman
Your father was a trawlerman
Taken by an angry sea
All hands lost into the deep
All hands lost into the deep

Child when I look at you and see a smile
Child when I knew you were my side
Goodbye my son

My husband was a handsome man
My husband was a trawlerman
My husband was a trawlerman
My children slept on nothing stand
Far off shore the tempest roared
Far off shore the tempest roared

Hal away, hal away, hal away
Hal away, hal away, hal away
Hal away, hal away, hal away
Child when I look at you and see a smile
Child when I knew you were my side
Goodbye my son
Hal away, hal away, hal away
Hal away, hal away, hal away
Hal away, hal away, hal away
