greenland fishery - bonny light horseman lyrics
[verse 1]
no more, no more can we stay on shore
gonna work for the company
where there’s ice and there’s snow
and the whale*fishes play
and the greenland fishery, boys
the greenland fishery
[verse 2]
the lookout climbed the top mast high
with a spyglass in his hand
“there’s a whale, there’s a whale
there’s a whale*fish,” he cried
“and she blows at every span, boys
she blows at every span”
[verse 3]
and the captain stood on the quarterdеck
and the ice was in his eyе
“overhaul, overhaul, let your davit tackle fall
let your harpoon fly, boys
let your harpoon fly”
[verse 4]
the harpoon struck and the line played out
but the fish gave a flash with the tail
and the boats capsized
and we lost a dozen men
and a hundred barrels of oil, boys
a hundred barrels of oil
[verse 5]
with the losing of a dozen brave men
the grieving company swore
for the losing of all those dollars and cents
grieve them ten times more, boys
grieve them ten times more
