Chorus:
 
(C)And it's three score and ten
Boys and (Em)men were (F)lost from Grimsby (C)Town
From (F)Yarmouth down to (C)Scarborough
Many hundreds more were (G7)drowned                      
Their (C)herring craft and trawlers
Their (Em)fishing (F)smacks as (C)well
Alone they (F)fight the (G7)bitter night
And (C)battle (G7)with the (C)swell.
    
Me (C)thinks I see a host of craft,
(Em)Spreading their (F)sails at (C)lee
As (F)down the Humber (C)they do steer,
Down for the great North (G7)Sea
Me (C)thinks I see a wee small craft
And (Em)crew with (F)hearts so (C)brave
They go to (F)earn their (G7)daily bread
U(C)pon the (G7)restless (C)waves.
 
Chorus
 
Me thinks I see them yet again,
As they leave this land behind
Casting their nets into the sea,
The herring shoals to find
Me thinks I see them yet again,
And they save on board a right
With their sails close-reefed, their decks moist-cleaned
And their side-lights burning bright.
 
Chorus
 
October's night brought such a sight,
'Twas never seen before
There were masts and yards and broken spars,
Washed up upon the shore
There was many a heart of sorrow,
There was many a heart so brave
There was many a true and noble lad
To find a watery grave.
 
Chorus.
