lyrics

We are three jolly fishermen,
We are three jolly fishermen,
We are three jolly fishermen,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.

We cast our nets into the sea,
We cast our nets into the sea,
We cast our nets into the sea,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.

Chorus
Make haste, make haste,
We’ll be too late,
One fish my dear,
I cannot wait,
For my fine fry of herring,
My bonnie silver herring,
Mind how you sell them,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.

We sell them three for four pence,
We sell them three for four pence,
We sell them three for four pence,
While the merry, merry bells do ring.

There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
There’s white and speckled bellied ‘uns,
While the merry merry bells do ring.

Chorus

From tail to head they’re gleaming,
From tail to head they’re gleaming,
From tail to head they’re gleaming,
While the merry merry bells do ring.

Chorus
