88For ‘tis we have tempted summer in The sun sank down so round and red
99At the tail of fine fresh herring. Upon the bay, upon the bay;
1010 The sails shook idly overhead,
1111Thro’ all the winter we ran to rack, Becalmed we lay, becalmed we lay;
1212For sure the herring was out of sight! Sing, Hugamar féin, <i>etc.</i>

2727Was never seen from girl and boy, And joined the chase, and joined the chase,
2828As he leapt by scores in the lasses’ laps, But their fleets they fouled as they went about,
2929Fresh herring our hope and joy. And we won the race, we won the race;

38Then we called to our sweathearts and our wives,
39 "Come welcome us home, welcome us home,"
40Till they ran to meet us for their lives
41 Into the foam, into the foam;

44O the kissing of hands and waving of caps
45 From girl and boy, from girl and boy,
46While you leapt by scores in the lasses' laps,

48 Sing, Hugamar féin, <i>etc.</i>
