Liam Clancy - Shoals Of Herring
Музыка
With our nets and gear we're faring
On the wild and wasteful ocean.
It's out there on the deep we harvest and keep our bread
As we hunted for the shoals of herring
1 4 1
It was on a fair and a pleasant day
5
Out of Yarmouth harbor I was faring
1 4 1
As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
4 5 1
For to hunt the bonny shoals of herring
O the work was hard and the hours were long
And the treatment, sure it took some bearing
And I used to sleep standing on my feet
And I'd dream about the shoals of herring
O we left the homegrounds in the month of June
And to Canny Shiels we soon were bearing
With a hundred cran of silver darlings
That we'd taken from the shoals of herring
You're net rope man now, boy you're on the move
You can swear and show a manly bearing
Take your turn on watch with the other fellows
While following the shoals of herring
Now you're up on deck, you're a fisherman
And you're learning all about sea faring
That's your education scraps of navigation
As you hunt the bonnie shoals of herring
In the stormy seas and the living gales
I earned the gear that I was wearing
Sailed ten thousand miles caught ten million fishes
As we hunted for the shoals of herring
(Last verse sung with mininimal accompaniment)
1 5 1
And it's night and day we're faring
4 5
Come winter wave or winter gale
1 4 1 4 1 6m
Sweating or cold growing up growing old or dying
1 4 5 1
As we hunt the bonnie shoals of herring

My ma took us to a concert of his in the 1970s amazing voice and presence I've never forgotten it
Liam will never die thanks to his incredible voice
The delivery of it in the first lines! Takes me back in an instant. Also dangled my line off my dinghy looking for the shoals of herring
The best balladeer of his generation!
people like Liam are irreplaceable.
Ah Liam, you were a poet and an artist, I could listen to you for the rest of my life. RIP old son
Many years ago in Canada I used to dabble in folk music in a little band. One night at the University of Manitoba I sang a song, The Wild Rover, with Liam Clancy, my idol. Wonderful singer, guitarist and human being. The highlight of my life so far,
What a wonderful singer of stories Liam was. He's probably giving lessons to the angels, God rest him!
Canzone meravigliosa , pare di stare veramente su un peschereccio condividendo la fatica ed il coraggio dei marinai
I love this song and have heard many artists sing this song, but Liam does a great job.
Such an amazing song, growing up, growing old, dyin'
WE SO MISS YOU LIAM WITH LOVE FROM ISRAEL.
this is what I feel is missing in so many pubs here in the US, no background to the songs, no tales to entice the audience into being interested in the songs. Tommy and he were masters at it and I aim to replicate it soon.

If you are a performer , please do talk to the audience .It makes things so much more interesting .It does amaze me that so many singers ( even great ones) put so little effort into connecting to the paying customers .Give some background into your songs or do the research and give the history on the songs you are covering .

Ah, shut up!!!!
The song is much better with the knowledge that it's made from the quotes of real fishermen.
Just wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Thanks for the memories Liam. Go with God Liam. Vaya con Dios Liam Clancy. Aloha Oe Liam Clancy.
Ballad master. Number 1!!!

Written by an Englishman abut an engilshman.
an all-time great in the history of music-
It's a song of learning, growing, achieving and then passing it on. What an alpha to omega. Pure excellence. And in this particular case, immortal pipes! Slainte!
바다만큼 깊은 노래 들을수록 깊은 노래 입니다.
Loved it since I was a child !
What a great lad and a fine voice. Glad I heard him in his prime. See you one day, Liam.
Ooh Liam out there your soul is on the road who never ends.But here on earth we still can listen on you.

many years. What a hard life these men had. I remember the fishermen's wife's who would sell the herring round the doors where we lived. They carried a huge basket of fish hung from a leather strap round the forehead and a wooden board at the front where they would gut the fish.
I´m astonished. Not only Luke Kelly sang this song marvellous. I like this version much!

Ireland died when Liam Clancy died.
We all know Liam Clancy rip was a great song singer and story weaver ,But when Bob Dillon said ,quote ,He's probably the best folk singer in the world .I think Dillon was right 👏👏🇨🇮
Magnificent!

What year was this shot?
Third line, should be harvest and "reap"...
Liam looks uncannily like Tucker Carlson.
Its a close call who the greatest Irish singer was I think Liam Clancy and Luke Kelly were the best,let's call it a draw

Yes they where good but give me the Luke and Ronnie any day rip to ye all
Say there, this is as good as Luke Kelly's version. Usually I prefer Luke to Liam when all is said and done. First class musicians backing Liam up here of course.
