Lyrics
Saint Andrew look down and watch over me,
I'm sailing out to open sea.
Been up half the night mending my nets;
I'm weary and fighting off sleep.
Chorus:
But the wind's at my back; it's the first light of dawn.
There's a cold morning fog on the bay.
And I know there's a chance that I won't make it home--
Saint Andrew, help me make it today.
Like my father before me and his father, too.
I live by the tides and the moon.
But my nets, they are patches, my boat she's not new,
And my catches are always too few.
I only make church when it's too cold to fish;
I gamble and I drink a bit, too.
But the priest told me last time I went to confess,
Saint Andrew, you're a fishing man, too.
