Threescore and Ten

✕
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
 
Methinks I see a host of craft spreading their sails alee
As down the Humber they do glide all bound for the northern sea
Methinks I see on each small craft a crew with hearts so brave
Going out to earn their daily bread upon the restless wave
 
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
 
Methinks I see them yet again as they leave this land behind
Casting their nets into the sea, the herring shoals to find
Methinks I see them yet again and they're all on board alright
With their nets close reefed and their decks cleaned up and their side lights burning bright
 
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
 
October's night brought such a sight, 'twas never seen before
There was masts and yards and broken spars come washed up on the shore
There was many a heart of sorrow, there was many a heart so brave
There was many a fine and hearty lad to find the watery grave
 
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
