Allison Crowe - Up She Rises lyrics

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.
