Lyrics Pedro The Fisherman - 2003 Digital Remaster - Harry Parr Davies

Pedro the fisherman was always whistling
Such a merry song
Girls that were passing by would hear him whistling
But his sweetheart Nina who
Loved him true, always knew
That his song belonged to her alone
And in the evening when the lights were gleaming
And they had to part
Educated falls away
Echoing across the bay
And this tune will linger in her heart
And many days have quickly passed
And life goes rushing on
And one day from the harbour wall
She finds his boat is gone
He sailed away to find the way
That sea will never bring
To buy a dress, a cuckoo clock,
A saucepan and a ring
Shet set her eyes on
The blue horizon
But he didn't return
She went on sighing but left off crying
But he didn't return
One day her father said to her
Oh dearest daughter mine
You'll never make a lot from fish
You'll make much more from wine
Though Miguel is rather fat,
His vineyard's doing well
So marry him and let your dreams
Of Pedro go to h...?
The organ peals, the choirboys sing,
The priest is ready with the book and ring?? here comes the bride
Then ... side
"Will you have this man
To be your lawful spouse eternally?"
Then suddenly the church is filled
They wait to hear her say "I will"
Then through the open door they hear
This . sound disturbs the air
...
Suddenly she's found her man
From the church off she ran
There he was upon the harbour wall
Down went the wedding guests
Down from the hillside
But the night . fall
At the last he said our way
Echoing across the bay
Here's the happy ending to their song.
