Appreciate the lyrics; I only recalled the first verse, actually the first two lines and recalled them a little differently:
When lamps are lighted in the town
The fisher folks awake
Don't know if the second line is misremembered but it's stuck in my head that way.
We learned it before we could read; it was in my first year at school, which was at Denton Road School, Newcastle upon Tyne. We would have had to memorise the words, as best we could. There was lots of sea fishing only about ten miles away, on the N.E. coast.
I wish I knew the tune.
