[Verse 1]
The son of a fisherman came in today
The son of a fisherman, he came in today
You know you're welcome, you're welcome to the world
The fisherman, the fisherman's first son, oh Lord

[Verse 2]
The son of a fisherman, he's saved by today
From the depths of a good girl's soul, he found his way
I'm so glad, so glad it was done
The fisherman, the fisherman's first son, oh Lord

[Bridge 1]
I heard he tried to talk the first day
And I think he had something to say, now
I didn't know what it was
But I think he's trying to ask us
Will I be alright?
Will I know day from night?
Will I have to change what's been done

[Chorus 1]
He's the son, the son of a fisherman
He's the son, the good loving son of a fisherman, Lord
He's the son, the son of a fisherman
He's the son, the good loving son of a fisherman, Lord
[Verse 3]
I know he'll be living good, his people are in love
That's the most important thing to be made of
He'll shine, he'll shine on forever
The fisherman, the fisherman's first son, oh Lord

[Bridge 2]
We'll show him that he'll have a good time
And bring him out to play in the sunshine
Hold him up for the world to know
That you've got something proud to show
Bring him up strong, now
But teach him right from wrong somehow
Let him live for himself, because he's got to know

[Chorus 2]
He's the son, the son of a fisherman
He's the son, the good loving son of a fisherman, Lord
He's the son, the son of a fisherman
He's the son, the good loving son of a fisherman, Lord
