Greenland Fishery |
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 |
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» |
And the captain stood on the quarterdeck |
And the ice was in his eye |
«Overhaul, overhaul, let your davit tackle fall |
Let your harpoon fly, boys |
Let your harpoon fly» |
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 |
With the losing of a dozen brave men |
It grieved the company sore |
But the losing of all those dollars and cents |
Grieve them ten times more, boys |
Grieve them ten times more |
