The price of Fish
The price of fish is very dear
200 men were lost last year
200 men in a watery grave
That was the price, the price they gave
up in the land of the mignight sun
where the endless fight is never done
Tired and weary, drenched and cold
They strive to fill the iced up hold
Many a man, gone over the rail
Lost in the teeth of the arctic gale
I only hope my point is clear
the price for fish is very dear.
