Oh, there's lots of fish in Bonavist Harbour,
lots of fish right in around here;
Boys and girls are fishin' together,
Forty five from Carbonear.
CHORUS:
Oh, catch a hold this one, catch a hold that one,
Swing around this one, swing around she;
Dance around this one, dance around that one,
Diddle dum this one, diddle dum dee.
Oh, Sally goes to church every Sunday
Not for to sing nor for to hear;
But to see the Feller from Fortune
What was down here fishin' last year
Oh, Sally got a bouncin' new baby,
Father said that he didn't care;
Because he liked the Feller from Fortune,
What was down here fishin' last year
Oh, there's lots of fish in Bonavist Harbour,
lots of fish right in around here;
Boys and girls are fishin' together,
Forty five from Carbonear.
