[Verse 1: Charles Hendy]
As I walked through the dockside one evening so fair
To view the salt water and take the sea air
I heard an old fisherman singing a song
Sayin', take me away boys me time is not long

[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green

[Verse 2: Charles Hendy]
Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where fishermen go if they don't go to Hell
Where the skies are all clear and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away

[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green

[Verse 3: Charles Hendy]
Where there's always a breeze and there's never a gale
The fish jump on board with one swish of their tail
And you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew
[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green

[Verse 4: Charles Hendy]
Now when get to the dock and the long trip is through
There's pubs and there's clubs and there's lassies there too
And the girls are all pretty and the drink is all free
And there's packets of fags growing on every tree

[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green

[Verse 5: Charles Hendy]
Where the skies are all clear and there's never a gail
And the fish jump on board with one swish on their tail
Where you lie at your leisure, there's no work to do
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew

[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green
[Verse 6: Charles Hendy]
No, I don't need a harp or a halo, not me
Just give me a breeze and a stiff rolling sea
I'll play me old squeezebox as we sail along
With the wind and the riggin' to sing me a song

[Chorus: Charles Hendy, Andrew Hendy, & Seán McKenna]
Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I'm taking a trip mates
And I'll see you someday on Fiddler's Green
