Home Of The Whale |
| Oh my love he works upon the sea |
| On the waves that blow wild and free |
| He splices the ropes and he sets the sail |
| While southwards he roams to the home of the whale |
| And he ne’er thinks of me far behind |
| Or the torments that rage in my mind |
| He is mine for only part of the year |
| Then I’m left all alone with only my tears |
| All ye ladies that smell of white rose |
| Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold |
| Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn |
| For the man ne’er returns from hunting the sperm (whale) |
| Oh my love he works upon the sea |
| On the waves that blow wild and free |
| He splices the ropes and he sets the sail |
| While southwards he roams to the home of the whale |
