Pedro the Fisherman Lyrics 
whistling Pedro the fisherman was always whistling Such a merry call Girls who were passing by would hear him whistling By the harbour wall 
But his sweetheart, Nina, who Loved him true, always new That this call was meant for her alone 
And in the evening when the lights were gleaming And they had to part As he sailed his boat away, echoing across the bay Came the song that lingered in her heart whistling 
But days of dreaming quickly pass and life goes rolling on And one day from the harbour wall, she found his boat had gone He'd sailed away to find the gold the sea could never bring To buy a dress, a cuckoo clock, a saucepan and a ring 
She kept her eyes on the blue horizon But he didn't return She stopped her sighing and stopped her crying 'Cause he-ee-ee didn't return 
One day her father said to her, oh dearest daughter mine You never make a lot from fish, you make much more from wine Though Miguel is very fat, his vineyard's doing well So marry him and let your dream of Pedro go to whistling 
The organ peals, the choir boys sing The preachers ready with the book and ring So small and white, here comes the bride And stands by slobby Miguel's side 
Will you take this man to be your lawful spouse eternally Then suddenly the church is still They wait to hear her say 'I will' When from the open doorway there A familiar sound disturbs the air 
whistling Suddenly she found her man, from the church, out she ran There to meet him by the harbour wall 
Down rushed the wedding guests upon the quayside But the bride had gone As with love they sailed away, echoing across the bay Came
