Greenland Whale Fisheries - The Pogues[00:00:00]
In eighteen hundred and forty-six[00:00:09]
And of March the eighteenth day [00:00:13]
We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast[00:00:16]
And for Greenland sailed away brave boys [00:00:19]
And for Greenland sailed away [00:00:24]
The lookout in the crosstrees stood[00:00:28]
With spyglass in his hand;[00:00:31]
There's a whale there's a whale [00:00:34]
And a whalefish he cried[00:00:36]
And she blows at every span brave boys[00:00:38]
She blows at every span [00:00:42]
The captain stood on the quarter deck [00:00:47]
The ice was in his eye;[00:00:50]
Overhaul overhaul Let your gibsheets fall [00:00:53]
And you'll put your boats to sea brave boys[00:00:57]
And you'll put your boats to sea [00:01:01]
Our harpoon struck and the line played out [00:01:06]
With a single flourish of his tail [00:01:09]
He capsized the boat and we lost five men [00:01:12]
And we did not catch the whale brave boys [00:01:16]
And we did not catch the whale [00:01:20]
The losing of those five jolly men [00:01:38]
It grieved the captain sore [00:01:41]
But the losing of that fine whalefish[00:01:44]
Now it grieved him ten times more brave boys[00:01:48]
Now it grieved him ten times more [00:01:52]
Oh Greenland is a barren land[00:01:56]
A land that bares no green[00:02:00]
Where there's ice and snow [00:02:03]
And the whalefishes blow[00:02:05]
And the daylight's seldom seen brave boys[00:02:06]
And the daylight's seldom seen[00:02:11]
