This is the day the fisherman likes and so do I

when the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes and Curlews cry,

the Nightingale sings her best,

we'll drink a pint in Hamilton's Rest

The girl I love wore a muslin dress

the fishermen dream of the sun in the west

and So Do

Chorus

Now I can see. Since the girl that I love dearly,

has cast her loving spell on me.

This is the day the cuckoo likes and so do I

The hills fall down in different shapes and swallows fly

to a hidden beach where boats can't go

mountain rivers overflow

I hear the squealing of the seagulls as home they go

And So Do I

Chorus

Now I can see....etc

I'll cross the Seven Oceans

forever more I'll wander

'Til she has cast her loving spell on me.
