I used to be a fisherman, on the icy crests we'd ride   Like a banshee on the wind, we'd sail the oncean wide.   From the shoals of Yarmouth bay to Newfoundland we'd go...      Chorus:   and we'd shout! Shout! Shout! Shout at the Devil down below         Out to the snows of Greeland, into the screaming gale   Out into the storm chasing down the whale   When the harpoon struck the mighty fish would blow...      and we'd shout! Shout! Shout! Shout at the Devil down below      In our bunks we'd find no solace, no comfort just remorse   We'd curse at the bad fortune that set us on this course   Gathered 'round the lamplight we'd sing both high and low...      and we'd shout! Shout! Shout! Shout at the Devil down below      From the rocks of Lizard Reef to Plymouth we are bound   The skipper's yelling blood as the jagged cliffs we round   Jack Duggan in the forsail, Billy Reilly in the crow...      and we'd shout! Shout! Shout! Shout at the Devil down below      Only when we'd quenched the mighty vessel's appetite   Would the captain tell us lads? "We'll be going home tonight!"   We'd turn to the raging sea and raise our fists and yell,   "You won't be seeing us today you won't be seeing us in Hell!"   Once ashore we'd head into the pub for a tankard full of ale   One day would turn into a week and the time would come to sail   We'd say goodbye to the girls to we love, then off from the shore we'd row...      and we'd shout! Shout! Shout! Shout at the Devil down below
