lirik lagu the greenland whale fishers – storm weather shanty choir
they took us jolly sailor lads
out fishing for the whale
on the fourth day of august in 1864
bound for greenland we set sail
the lookout stood on the crosstrees high
with a spygl-ss in his hand
“there’s a whale, there’s a whale, there’s a whale fish,” he cried
“and she blows at every span.”
the captain stood on the quarterdeck
and a sod of a man was he
“overhaul, overhaul, let your davitackles fall
and we’ll launch them boats to sea.”
we struck that whale and the line played out
but she gave a flourish with her tail
the boat capsized, we lost seven of our men
and we never caught that whale
now the losin’ of seven fine seamen
oh, it grieved the captain so
that the losin’ of the bl–dy sperm whale
oh, it grieved him ten times more
now greenland is a horrid place
where us whaling lads have to go
where the rose and the lilies never bloom in spring
oh there’s only ice and snow
the winter star doth now appear
so boys we’ll anchor aweigh
it’s time to leave this cold country
now let’s homeward sail away
now let’s homeward sail away
