[Verse 1]
When she Gleaves safe harbor headed for the fishin’ grounds, Cunknown waters aGgain.
And you Gwave goodbye to the friends on shore, Csteamin’ with a northern Gwind.
The Gwaves they roll and the wind's pickin’ up, and the Cnight is comin’ on Gfast.
She Gturns her back to the island shore, through the Chigh waves she will Gblast.
[Chorus]
And it's Goh, oh, oh, up she rises, the Cwater rolls off of her Gdeck.
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, Cguided through the sea by her captain GJack.
GOh-oh-oh, up she rises, she's Cheaded straight into the Gwind.
                             G                        C       D(G)
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises, she goes back down but she rises again.

[Verse 2]
In the Gmorning the winds are calm and the waters they Cglisten with the rising Gsun.
The Gcaptain says all men on deck, there's a Cday's work to be Gdone.
We Gclimb the rails, and we hit the decks, we reached the Cfishing grounds at Glast.
We’ll Gwork the day and hear the captain say, there's a Cwind storm coming up Gfast.
[Chorus]
And it's Goh, oh, oh, up she rises, the Cwater rolls off of her Gdeck.
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, Cguided through the sea by her captain GJack.
GOh-oh-oh, up she rises, she's Cheaded straight into the Gwind.

[Verse 3]
When the Gcatch is made we steam for home, to a Charbor safe and Gwarm.
Through a Grestless night we toss and turn in the Cwinds and waves of a Gstorm.
In the Gnorthern gale, and a ten foot swell she's a-Ccuttin’ through the mighty Gsea.
And the Gsound of a song is heard from below, the Cmen you can hear ‘em Gsing.
[Chorus]
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, the Cwater rolls off of her Gdeck.
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, Cguided through the sea by her captain GJack.
GOh-oh-oh, up she rises, she's Cheaded straight into the Gwind.
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, she Cgoes back down but she Drises a-
GOh-oh-oh, up she rises, the Cwater rolls off of her Gdeck.
GOh, oh, oh, up she rises, Cguided through the sea by her captain GJack.
GOh-oh-oh, up she rises, she's Cheaded straight into the Gwind.
