Seething Sardine Shanty 
chorus

 The Wild Rower

In Seething Wells was born and raised
 Chunky sweaters, hair and beard
 I went down to Seething to see what was there
Heave away haul away Heave away haul away
 In the water a lady with long golden hair

Born to do things Lefiʼs way
 Makes the girls look really weird I asked for a kiss and a dance on the green
Hauling seething sardines

 
Hauling seething sardines Tʼwas the loveliest lady that Iʼd ever seen

 chorus

Heave away you sardine kings
 And itʼs Seething Sardines
Tasty sardines – good to suck

Heave away haul away
 Seething Sardines for tea
Heave away haul away

Heave away oh hear me sing Thereʼs enough for the village
When your lover needs some luck


Hauling seething sardines For you and for me.
Hauling seething sardines



Keep your sail fins tall and straight chorus

 She swam to the side and she blew me a kiss

Heave away haul away
 When I suddenly saw there was something
Sailing down to ʻArdines Baitʼ Regulation nets we use

amiss

Hauling seething sardines

 Heave away haul away

I looked at her waist and went terribly pale
Sustainability we choose

Where there should have been legs there was

 Hauling seething sardines

Cast your net far and wide

 Sardines, sardines, little silver sardines Now the sardines are back and theyʼre ready to
Gutting fish the ancient way
 Sardines, sardines, eat them up, YUM! share
Heave away haul away
 Where did they come from, chorus
Makes your hands smell all the day
 And howʼd they really get here
Hauling seething sardines

 What earthly purpose do they serve? When first we met Lefi we sent him away
But he changed all our lives and we wish he had
chorus chorus stayed

See them glistening in the sun
 Look all around you He left us his cheeses, his ale and his fish
