The Fisherman’s Daughter (Words and Music Robert Michael Turco © 2022)

(Musical Intro with Nautical Fiddle Hook: Repeated in Bridge)


I fell in love with the fisherman’s daughter She was born on a boat in the water
I shouldn’t brag but you know that I’m gonna I’m in love with the fisherman’s daughter

Oh, how happy can you be
The fish school up just to greet her Jump in the boat, flopping at her feet And I know just how they feel

I don’t see how I got so lucky
This free-thinking woman surely loves me Filling my sails with a peaceful breeze
I’m in love with the fisherman’s daughter

Oh, she got the sweetest treats Twinkle in her eyes is gonna lure ya Soft kisses that can’t be beat
And I’m never gonna leave her side

(Musical Bridge with a fiddle)

The prettiest thing your eyes will meet
Got a “come here” smile, makes me move my feet My mermaid from the briny deep
I’m in love with the fisherman’s daughter

(Acapella Maybe)

I fell in love with the fisherman’s daughter She was born on a boat in the water
I shouldn’t brag but you know that I’m gonna
I’m in love ……. with the fisherman’s daughter
