| When last I was a fisherman | |
| I'd watch the storms rise up from the sea | |
| And see it as a sign to me | |
| That the sea was still my mistress | |
| And teasing me for love | |
| When last I was a fisherman | |
| I'd watch the whale-fish blow | |
| And rise up from the darkest deep real slow | |
| And see it as a sign to me | |
| That she was still my mistress | |
| And teasing me for love | |
| I never knew why she loved me | |
| I never tried for her favour | |
| I wouldn't have known how | |
| I wouldn't have known how | |
| And I didn't have the know-how | |
| To heel and toe her, heel and toe her | |
| I only knew that she was my mistress | |
| And teasing me for love | |
| When last I was a fisherman | |
| I lay along the sea wall | |
| My body pressed against | |
| The blue of her occupation elsewhere | |
| She was busy with the other boats | |
| But I knew she'd turn her belly back to me | |
| When she was free | |
| When last I was a fisherman | |
| I'd stand against the sea | |
| My skiff adrift in ecstasy | |
| The mast a-singing, the salt a-stinging | |
| I'd see it as a sign to me | |
| That she was still my mistress | |
| And just teasing me for love | |
| I never knew why she loved me... | |
| When last I was a fisherman | |
| I lay awake one night | |
| Her cooing and raving nearby | |
| And I waited in youthful eagerness | |
| For the dawn's first hint of light | |
| For my mistress to come | |
| For she to come to me | |
| I knew she was coming | |
| I could feel her coming | |
| And I waited and I waited | |
| And I waited and I waited... | |
| 'Til I raised my voice unto the night | |
| And only heard a baby's cry | |
| I never knew why she loved me... |
