Caller Herrin by Lady Nairne
Caller Herrin
Chorus
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
A D
When ye were sleepin' on your pillows,
A D
Dream'd ye aught o' our puir fellows,
A D
Darkling as they fac'd the billows,
G A
A' to fill the woven willows?
D A
Buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth.
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're no brought here without brave darin';
D A
Buy my caller herrin',
D A D
Haul'd through wind and rain.
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
Oh, ye may ca' them vulgar farin'
D A
Wives and mithers, maist despairin',
D A D
Ca' them lives o' men.
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
D A
When the creel o' herrin' passes,
D G A
Ladies-clad in silks and laces,
D A
Gather in their braw pelisses,
D A D
Cast their heads and screw their faces,
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
D A
Caller herrin's no got lightlie:
D G A
Ye can trip the spring fu' tightlie;
D A
Spite o' tauntin', flauntin', flingin',
D A D
Gow had set you a' a-singing
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
D A
Neebour wives, now tent my tellin';
D G A
When the bonnie fish ye're sellin',
D A
At ae word be in yere dealin' -
D A D
Truth will stand when a' thin's failin',
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin'?
D G A
They're bonnie fish and halesome farin';
D A
Wha'll buy my caller herrin',
D A D
New drawn frae the Forth?
