[verse 1]
john taylor left his native home
after the whalefish he did go
round the atlantic coast and around cape h*rn
to the south seas where the whalefish blow
[chorus]
oh, it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
[verse 2]
well, his boat was sunk, and his luck being gone
round a rocky island he made his home
and he prayed and he hoped and he dreamed in vain
for a ship to carry him home again
[chorus]
but it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
[verse 3]
an old man come on walking along thе beach
harpoon in hand and a shining face
“i come from my homе on the rolling sea
to carry you back to your native place”
[chorus]
so it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
[verse 4]
well, they sang and they rowed, and they sang and sailed
’til they spied them a newborn whale
and the old man harpooned him in the back
and out to sea they hauled their slack
[chorus]
and it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
[guitar solo]
[verse 5]
well, they had not been sailing but a month or more
“land ho!” was the old man’s happy word
and john saw the cliffs rising from the sea
heard the cry of nantucket birds
[chorus]
oh, it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
[verse 6]
well, they never stopped when they reached dry ground
but they hauled their slack into john’s home town
and john got off at his own front door
never saw the old man, or the whale, any more
[chorus]
oh, it’s hang on, john
soon you’ll see your native shore
and it’s hang on, john
you’ll see nantucket shores once more
