nantucket lyrics
[verse 1]
i come from an island, an islander’s ways
breakers and quakers and few of us stray
hunting the oceans with men that won’t tire
nantucket sleigh rides and chimney’s afire
[verse 2]
some may be wary and won’t understand
trading a spear for a flag in the hand
a jetsam that [?], some shipping out east
out to go hunting a different beast
[chorus]
fire flies from the long nines
shot*handlers run about
the captain says we’ll holler
as though there was some doubt
and as we blow on the matches
and brace to take thе shock
my mind is in nantucket
hauling whale meat into dock
[verse 3]
i’m not usеd to bracing in weather so calm
still making cheer when i hear the alarm
as iron and fire knock nails from the stern
the shoals are no longer my biggest concern
[verse 4]
our skipper is canny, a droll kind of soul
he never sulked and he’s still cracking jokes
ah, mr. starbuck, your aim is quite rare
well i aims to sink her beyond disrepair
[chorus]
fire flies from the long nines
shot*handlers run about
the captain says we’ll holler
as though there was some doubt
and as we blow on the matches
and brace to take the shock
my mind is in nantucket
hauling whale meat into dock
[bridge]
history favours the bold and the brave
conquer the mountains and weather the waves
now i’m away with all liberty’s sons
off down the channel to stand by the guns
[chorus]
fire flies from the long nines
shot*handlers run about
the captain says we’ll holler
as though there was some doubt
and as we blow on the matches
and brace to take the shock
my mind is in nantucket
hauling whale meat into dock
fire flies from the long nines
shot*handlers run about
the captain says we’ll holler
as though there was some doubt
and as we blow on the matches
and brace to take the shock
my mind is in nantucket
hauling whale meat into dock
