Race To Be King |
| We left our sweethearts |
| And our wives along that pier |
| «Cheer up», they said |
| «You'll soon return in half a year» |
| So we sailed up north to reach the ice |
| We took full sails |
| Each boat was manned with guns |
| And rope to hunt that whale |
| We know, that we’re fighting |
| In this frost on our own |
| And we’ll see no sound |
| Or sight of our homes |
| And our lovers will be |
| Waiting there till spring |
| It’s a ramble and a race to be king |
| Race to be king |
| Now we’ve been sailing a league or three |
| Till we glimpsed that shore |
| The night was dark and won no hearts |
| So we stayed on board |
| There fired a shot along our deck |
| And down one side |
| And it cracked our mast and swept in fast |
| Our bird she cried out |
