Greenland Whale Fisheries—The Pogues[00:00:01]
In eighteen hundred and forty-six[00:00:16]
And of March the eighteenth day [00:00:19]
We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast[00:00:22]
And for Greenland sailed away brave boys [00:00:26]
And for Greenland sailed away [00:00:30]
The lookout in the crosstrees stood[00:00:34]
With spyglass in his hand;[00:00:38]
There's a whale there's a whale [00:00:41]
And a whalefish he cried[00:00:43]
And she blows at every span brave boys[00:00:45]
She blows at every span [00:00:50]
The captain stood on the quarter deck [00:00:53]
The ice was in his eye;[00:00:57]
Overhaul overhaul Let your gibsheets fall [00:01:00]
And you'll put your boats to sea brave boys[00:01:04]
And you'll put your boats to sea [00:01:08]
Our harpoon struck and the line played out [00:01:12]
With a single flourish of his tail [00:01:16]
He capsized the boat and we lost five men [00:01:19]
And we did not catch the whale brave boys [00:01:23]
And we did not catch the whale [00:01:27]
The losing of those five jolly men [00:01:45]
It grieved the captain sore [00:01:48]
But the losing of that fine whalefish[00:01:52]
Now it grieved him ten times more brave boys[00:01:55]
Now it grieved him ten times more [00:02:00]
Oh Greenland is a barren land[00:02:04]
A land that bares no green[00:02:08]
Where there's ice and snow and the whalefishes blow[00:02:11]
And the daylight's seldom seen brave boys[00:02:15]
And the daylight's seldom seen[00:02:19]
