Lyrics:
Well, the whalefish struck And the line run out But the whale made a flourish with her tail
Then the boat capsized Ten men were drowned No more, no more Greenland for you, brave boys No more, no more Greenland for you
'Twas in eighteen hundred and sixty-three On June the thirteenth day When our gallant ship her anchor weighed And for Greenland sailed away, brave boys And for Greenland sailed away
The lookout in the crosstrees stood A spyglass in his hand 'It's a whale! It's a whale! It's a whalefish!' he cried 'And she blows from every span, brave boys She blows from every span!'
We struck that whale but the line ran out And the whale made a flourish with her tail When the boat capsized ten men were drowned And we never caught that whale, brave boys We never caught that whale
'Well, to lose that whale,' My captain said 'Leaves my heart all sore But to lose the lives of those ten bonny men Grieves me ten times more, brave boys It grieves me ten times more.'
Now Greenland is a barren land A land that's never green Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow And daylight's seldom seen, brave boys And daylight's seldom seen
