Catch of the Day (lyrics)

 CATCH OF THE DAY (lyrics)
    I
Foggy mist was rolling in
the tide was rolling out.
The fog horns were Tooting
I can hear the captain shout.
 
The gulls were circling on the bay,
the water's churning wild.
Blessings are our catch today
every woman, man, and child.
                  
  II
Some days aren't easy,
other days are even worse.
When stomachs grow hungry,
it's when fishing is a curse.
 
But when the tide's rolling out,
and boats are on the bay.
One can really rest assure,
they'll be a catch of the day
 
(CHORUS)
Catch of the day, Catch of the day
Catch of the day, Catch of the day
Catch of the day, Catch of the day
You'll be the catch of the day
                 
   III
Now fishing life's grueling
from morning to sunset.
Cold winds can do you in,
but sure, can empty nets
 
And while your wife's waiting
by the Widow’s Watch each night,
hoping you'll be home again,
so, she can hold you tight.
            
IV
Now fishers aren't bragging men,
nor fighters to the core,
like their buddies at the bar,
they welcome opened doors.
 
But mess round with their women,
and they'll chain you to the deep.
Where no one will ever find you
 In the jealous seas you'll keep.
(CHORUS)
 
 V                   
So, when your seas are wavy,
and whitecaps rock your boat,
and fishing is just a maybe,
just a maybe you'll stay afloat.
 
You're scared like never before,
but her smile turns you her way.
‘cause her love calms you like a Cora*
when she's your catch of the day."
 (chorus)
 
Catch of the day, Catch of the day
She'll be the catch of the day
Catch of the day, Catch of the day
She'll be the catch of the day
