Описание: ⚓ Haul Away the Nets | Traditional Maritime Sea Shanty

Welcome to Gunther Sound 🌊

An authentic traditional sea shanty celebrating the fisherman's life! "Haul Away the Nets" features powerful call-and-response vocals, rhythmic accordion and fiddle, and the raw energy of a maritime work song. This folk anthem honors the hardworking sailors and fishermen who brave the ocean's depths, with crew chorus singing that captures the spirit of camaraderie on the high seas.

Lyric:

At dawn we leave the harbor with the rising of the tide
The morning mist is heavy and the ocean's dark and wide
We cast our lines and prayers out to the waters deep and cold
A fisher's life ain't easy but it's all we've ever known

Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, haul away!
With backs that ache and hands worn raw
We'll bring the catch in by the break of day!
Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, heave ho!
The sea may take, the sea may give
But this is the only life we know!

The wind she howls like banshees and the waves they crash and roar
We're miles away from loved ones and from the safety of the shore
But we've got salt water running through our veins since we were born
And we'll ride these rolling waters from the dusk until the morn

Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, haul away!
With backs that ache and hands worn raw
We'll bring the catch in by the break of day!
Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, heave ho!
The sea may take, the sea may give
But this is the only life we know!

My father was a fisherman, his father's father too
They taught me how to read the stars and watch when storms brew through
They said "Son, the ocean's mistress can be cruel or she can bless
But treat her with respect and you'll survive her every test"

What do we do when the nets are full?
Haul away, boys, haul!
What do we do when the storm winds blow?
Hold steady, let her go!
What do we do when the catch is poor?
Try again once more!
What do we do when we see the shore?
Thank the Lord we're home!

We dream of wives and children waiting by the dock so dear
Their faces keep us going through the cold and through the fear
We'll bring them home our bounty from beneath the ocean's floor
And rest our weary bodies till we sail again once more

Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, haul away!
With backs that ache and hands worn raw
We'll bring the catch in by the break of day!
Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, heave ho!
The sea may take, the sea may give
But this is the only life we know!
Haul away, haul away the nets, boys!
Haul away, me lads!
Through storm and sun, through thick and thin
We're fishermen until the end!

One more haul, boys!
Heave ho!
Bring her in!
Heave ho!
Homeward bound!
Heave ho! Heave ho!
