Up She Rises

When she leaves safe harbour
Headed for the fishin' ground's unknown waters again
And you wave goodbye to the friends on shore
Steamin' with a northern wind
The waves they roll and the wind's pickin' up
And the night is comin' on fast
She turns her back to the island shore
Through the high waves she will blast

And it's
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain, Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again

In the morning the winds are calm
And the waters they glisten with the rising sun
The captain says all men on deck
There's a day's work to be done
We climb the rails, and we hit the deck
We've reached the fishing grounds at last
We work the day and hear the captain say
There's a windstorm coming up fast

And it's
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain, Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again

When the catch is made, we steam for home
To a harbour safe and warm
Through a restless night we toss and turn
In the winds and waves of a storm
In the northern gale and a ten foot swell
She's a-cuttin' through the mighty sea
And the sound of a song is heard from below
The men you can hear 'em sing

Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain, Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises

Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
The water rolls off of her deck
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
Guided through the sea by her captain, Jack
Oh, oh, up she rises
She's headed straight into the wind
Oh, oh, oh, up she rises
She goes back down, but she rises again
