    I don't know the statistics , but have always regarded it as the most dangerous occupation , we wold be crossing the channel in force 8 and you could watch the fishermen climbing waves , so pleased they are remembered

    Fidlers Green is a place I do tell
    where good Sailors go when they don't go to hell.
    Where your glass never empties and tobacco is free
    and bottles of Rum grow upon every tree.
    You sit telling yarns cos there is no work to do
    and the Captain is below making tea for the crew
    So tell all my old shipmate
    I will be taking a trip, mates
    and will see them one day in Fiddlers Green.

    CHORUS

    Wrap me up in me oilskin 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 one day in Fiddler's Green.
