The fondest wish that ever I had since the day that I was weaned
Is to go back and walk again on the rocks of Merasheen
I still recall the sad farewell I bid her on that day
When all upon a whaling ship I went to earn my pay
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, The rocks of Merasheen
Intro
From out of Rose au Rue we sailed to hunt the big fish down,
We sailed upon the ocean till we sailed the world around.
With girls in every port of call I did go well astray
Forsaking her I left behind Back in Placentia Bay
By the hard rocks, the rocky rocks The rocks of Merasheen
| | /b
Now in my old and aching age I think of her once more
Of how she fared while waiting for my knock upon her door
What fate was hers I do not know but in my sleep Ive seen
her walking on the cliffs above the rocks of Merasheen
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, The rocks of Merasheen
On the hard rocks, the dirty rocks The rocks of Merasheen
INTRO, repeat to end
