Ode To Big Blue (Album Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]

The oceans of the world were the home of big blue[00:00:08]

He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew[00:00:18]

And the place that he loved best[00:00:22]

Was the waters to the west[00:00:24]

Around the blue Pacific he did roam[00:00:30]

Big Blue moved alone for a mighty blue was he[00:00:37]

And the battles of the whales was an awesome sight to see[00:00:45]

And he took them one by one and he drove them all away[00:00:49]

In the mating of the day he was the king[00:00:57]

Big blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons[00:01:09]

Though most of them feel victim to the cruel harpoon guns[00:01:18]

Ah but he was too much wise to get caught by the gunners' eyes[00:01:23]

And so he lived at sea a hundred years[00:01:32]

His mouth was as large as a tunnel so they say[00:01:49]

His hide was thick as leather and his eyes quick and small[00:01:58]

And his back was all scarred by the times he got away[00:02:03]

And he knew the smell of whalers did Big Blue[00:02:12]

Big Blue passed away to his natural decay[00:02:30]

Beside the Arctic Circle as he travelled up that way[00:02:39]

And there never was a man who was born with a gunner's hand[00:02:44]

Whoever took a pan to Big Blue[00:02:53]

Now the gray whale has run and the sperm is almost done[00:03:10]

The finbacks and the Greenland rights have all passed and gone[00:03:19]

They've been taken by the men for the money they could spend[00:03:24]

And the killing never ends it just goes on[00:03:33]

The oceans of the earth were the home of big blue[00:03:48]

He was the greatest monster that the world ever knew[00:03:57]

And the place that he loved best was the waters to the west[00:04:02]

Around the blue Pacific he did roam[00:04:11]
