Five O’Clock Songtext
von The McCalmans

It′s five o'clock in the morning
Time to get ready, we′re sailing away
It's five o'clock in the morning
Time to get ready to sail

We rise in the morning, sail out on the tide
Proudly we slip from the quay
With the gulls overhead and the seals alongside
Silent we set out to sea

It′s five o′clock in the morning
Time to get ready, we're sailing away
It′s five o'clock in the morning
Time to get ready to sail

A fisherman′s life is to work day and night
And catch an hour's sleep in between
Casting the nets out and hauling them in
Sometimes not a fish to be seen


It′s five o'clock in the morning
Time to get ready, we're sailing away
It′s five o′clock in the morning
Time to get ready to sail

We'll be cold, tired and hungry and drenched to the skin
When we sail back to Stornoway town
But with our catch safely landed, we′ll have a good dram
Of the Lewis, the Clachan or the Crown

It's five o′clock in the morning
Time to get ready, we're sailing away
It′s five o'clock in the morning
Time to get ready to sail

It's five o′clock in the morning
Time to get ready, we′re sailing away
It's five o′clock in the morning
Time to get ready to sail

Time to get ready to sail
