Save the whales - Guitavio[00:00:00]
Written by:Joe Mc Donald[00:00:01]
When my grandpa was a boy[00:00:23]
He went down to the general store[00:00:25]
Saw a picture book of a whale[00:00:28]
Shooting it's spout and flashin' it's tail[00:00:30]
Then he got a sailor's dream[00:00:33]
'Bout cruisin' around on the salty sea[00:00:35]
Joinin' up with a fishin' crew[00:00:38]
To go out and get him a whale or two[00:00:40]
Now tell me what kind of men are these[00:00:43]
That sail upon the salty seas[00:00:46]
Up in the rigging in the afternoon[00:00:48]
Swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons[00:00:51]
Hooray and up she rises[00:00:54]
Hooray and up she rises[00:00:56]
Hooray and up she rises[00:00:59]
Early in the morning[00:01:02]
Lots of whales in the deep blue sea[00:01:15]
We kill them for the industry[00:01:17]
We drag 'em 'longside chop 'em in two[00:01:20]
And melt 'em down and sell 'em to you[00:01:23]
There hardly is a sailor alive[00:01:26]
Who can keep the tears from his eyes[00:01:28]
As he remembers the good old days[00:01:31]
When there were no whales to save[00:01:34]
Now we can thank the companies[00:01:36]
For scouring the deep blue seas[00:01:39]
Looking for ivory and perfume[00:01:42]
And although like you living good[00:01:45]
Hooray and up she rises[00:01:47]
Hooray and up she rises[00:01:50]
Hooray and up she rises[00:01:53]
Early in the morning[00:01:55]
Hooray and up she rises[00:01:58]
Hooray and up she rises[00:02:01]
Hooray and up she rises[00:02:04]
Early in the morning[00:02:06]
Shanghaied by the light of the moon[00:02:30]
Put out from boston in the middle of June[00:02:33]
After six months out at sea[00:02:35]
Nothin' but death and misery[00:02:38]
Set out on a three year cruise[00:02:40]
A union ship and a union crew[00:02:43]
And after six months you begin to see[00:02:46]
That whalin's not what it used to be[00:02:49]
A modern ship and a modern crew[00:02:51]
With sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons[00:02:54]
A mechanical boat made outta steel[00:02:57]
A floating machine built to kill the whales[00:03:00]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:03]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:05]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:08]
Early in the morning[00:03:11]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:13]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:16]
Hooray and up she rises[00:03:19]
Early in the morning[00:03:21]
