Blow Ye Winds, Heigh Ho |
'Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo, |
Five hundred brave Americans a-whaling for to go. |
Singin' blow ye winds in the morning, |
Blow ye winds, heigh ho, |
Clear away your running gear, |
And blow, blow, blow! |
They’ll send you to New Bedford town, that famous whaling port, |
And hand you to some land-sharks there to board and fit you out. |
They’ll tell you of the clipper ships a-going in and out, |
And say, you’ll take five hundred sperm before you’re six months out! |
It’s now we’re out to sea, my boys, the wind comes on to blow, |
One half the watch is sick on deck, the other half below. |
And as for the provisions, we don’t get half enough, |
A little piece of stinkin' beef and a damn small bag of duff. |
The skipper’s on the quarterdeck a-squintin' at the sails, |
When up aloft the lookout cries he sights a school of whales! |
So clear away the boats, me boys, and after him we’ll travel, |
But if you get too near his flukes, he’ll kick you to the devil! |
When comes the stowing down, me boys, 't will take both night and day, |
And you’ll all have 50 cents apiece on the 190th lay! |
And now we’re homeward bound, me boys, and when we’re through our sailin' |
A winding glass around we’ll pass and damn this blubber whaling! |
