I’m a man of the river written by Bob Ferguson. 2012. C3 Verse 1 Many long years ago, when I was just a lad. I’d wait beside the river, to welcome home my dad. The sails of his tall ship, would rise above the waves. My mother would come running, to stand beside me there. Chorus I’m a man of the river, by the river I’ll stay. I’ve lived this life, all my days, And when I breathe no more, it has to be this place. Where the grasses and the flowers, grow o’er me every day. Verse 2 When I was ten years old, my father said to me. Son when you grow, never work upon the sea. When I was twelve years old, I went down to the quay. I said, sorry father, but it’s always been in me. Verse 3 I lived the life my father loved, and it took its hold on me. The oceans took my father, to the bottom of the sea. When the sun climbs out of the waves, the tall ships sail away. And I am just an old man, standing by the quay. Verse 4 The tall ships they sail on by, to them I bid adieu. And all the bonnie laddies, that sail on them too. They ring the bell and shout ahoy, to this old sailor lad. I wish that this old river, would give back the life I knew.

I Am Easy key C4 Chorus: I am easy, oh so easy, I am easy, so easy now. verse 1 Through the years - and the broken roads, A heart must go -to find the love. Through the tears - and the crying times, A heart must know - to find the love. Chorus I am easy, oh so easy, I am easy, so easy now. verse 2 Hello's so sweet - and a bright new dawn.

I am easy, oh so easy, I am easy, so easy now. verse 3 Said hello - in a crimson dawn, The words of love- on me shone down.

Heave in haul Away Verse 1 Em3 We’re walking to the harbour, The moon is getting down, Not too many lights on, In our little town. When I look behind me, See her in the light, I wave a last farewell, And walk off in the night Chorus Hero- haul away-heave in the nets, Hero haul away heave in the nets, Heave in haul away, Heave in haul away, Heave in--heave in . Verse 2 Out there in the darkness, A sound I know so well, Mingling with my footsteps, The sound of the swell. Turning round a corner, I see I’m all alone, The shadows they are moving, Leaving many homes. Verse 3 The skipper he is waiting, Welcomes us aboard, Put our kit down in the bunks, Then the engine roars. All is checked and ready, And we’re casting off, Out there in the distance, We can smell the fog. Verse 4 All around the harbour, trawlers leaving home, I stare up at the hillside, Window light still on. And though she cannot see me, Our lights they are aglow, I blow a gentle kiss, And hope that she will know. Verse 5 We’re bound out for the ocean, Cutting through the waves, Our trawler will be battered, Trying to earn a wage, The nets they are a trawling, Each time we hope and pray, Hauling with our tired arms, Where are the fish today. Verse 6 The message on the radio, Fills us all with fear, We’re racing now for refuge, The storms at our rear, Waves turn into mountains, Crashing on our decks, Our will is being tested, The trawlers getting wrecked. Suddenly we’re rising, On the biggest wave, We know that we are broken, The sea will be our grave.
