When she leaves safe harbor
Headed for the fishin' ground's unknown waters again
And you wave goodbye to the friends on shore
Steamin' with a northern wind
The waves they roll and the wind's pickin' up
And the night is comin' on fast
She turns her back to the Island shore
Through the high waves she will blast
And it's oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again
♪
In the morning the winds are calm
And the waters they glisten with the rising sun
The captain says, "All men on deck"
"There's a day's work to be done"
We climb the rails, and we hit the decks
We've reached the fishing grounds at last
We work the day and hear the captain say
"There's a wind storm coming up fast" (Let's go Bobby, let's go men)
And it's oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again
♪
When the catch is made, we steam for home
To a harbour safe and warm
Through a restless night we toss
And turn in the winds and waves of a storm
In the northern gale and a ten foot swell
She's a-cuttin' through the mighty sea
And the sound of a song is heard from below
Men you can hear 'em sing (woo)
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again
