Kimber’s Men – Maryport Lyrics
Artist: Kimber’s Men
Song: Maryport
It’s another Maryport springtime
The blossom is fresh on the Trees
We open our hatch, for a half empty catch
Brought home on a half empty breeze
It’s hardly surpising so little’s been caught
There’s a fleet of Dutch Beamers way off on the port
The Spanish the French, aye, they’re still around
As together we harvest the same barren ground
In another Maryport springtime
In another Maryport springtime
It’s another Maryport summer
The Children they swim in the dock
And out on the strand, by the long golden sand
We sit and we stare at the clock
Our quota’s ben cut now almost to nought
They’ve sold all the fish. before they’ve been vaught
They turn a deaf ear to our cries for help
If you can’t catch the cod, change tack for the kelp
In another Maryport summer
In another Maryport summer
It’s another Maryport autumn
With the mist drifting in on the neap
With the state of the Pound, we’re all run aground
Our hopes lie like nets in a heap
But I can remember a far better time
With such a rich harvest way out on the brine
Though boats still go out, come sun, snow, or rain
We fear that these good times will not come again
In another Maryport autumn
In another Maryport autumn
It’s another Maryport winter
My anger is hard now to hide
These long wasted years, how they drive us to tears
As we wait for a turn in the tide
But hope spring’s eternal, that’s what they say
And as gulls circle ’round at the end of the dat
They swoop and they dive as in search for the sun
Let us pray there’s still hope while the Ellen still runs
In another Maryport winter
In another Maryport winter
As we wait for a turn in the tide
