This is the day the fisherman likes When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes The nightingale sings her best We'll drink a pint in hamiltons rest And the girl i love wore a muslin dress The fisherman dream of the sun in the west Since the girl i love dearly Has cast her loving spell on me Thiis is the day the cuckoo likes When the hills fall down in different shapes To a hidden beach where boats can't go I hear the squelin' of the seagulls Since the girl i love dearly Has cast her loving spell on me I'll cross the seven oceans Till she has cast her loving spell on me This is the day the fisherman likes When the rain puts a shine on the chestnut spikes The nightingale sings her best We'll drink a pint in hamiltons rest And the girl i love wore a muslin dress The fishermen dream of the sum in the west
