Pete Seeger — Windy Old Weather

[Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 1] Up jumped the herring The king of the sea He sang out old skipper Now you can't catch me [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 2] Up jumped the mackerel With his stripéd back He sang out old skipper Come haul your mean tack [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 3] Up jumped the sprat The smallest of all He sang out old skipper Come haul your trawl haul [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 4] Up jumped the crab With his great long claws He sang out old skipper You'll run us ashore [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 5] Up jumped the herring Right under the lee He sang drifting's finished Why bother? Catch me [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 6] Up jumped the herring All broken and spent He cried drifting's finished Who'll pay the rent? [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together [Verse 7] Up jumped the herring The king of the shoal He cried drifting's finished Gotta stay on the dole [Chorus] In this windy old weather Stormy old weather, boys When the wind blows We'll all go together
