Ode To Big Blue - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
The oceans of the world[00:00:09]
Were the home of Big Blue[00:00:10]
He was the greatest monster[00:00:17]
That the world ever knew[00:00:19]
And the place that he loved[00:00:22]
Best was the waters to the west[00:00:24]
Around the blue Pacific he did roam[00:00:30]
Big Blue moved alone[00:00:37]
For a mighty blue was he[00:00:39]
And the battles of the whales[00:00:44]
Was an awesome sight to see[00:00:46]
And he took them one by one[00:00:49]
And he drove them all away[00:00:51]
In the mating of the day he was the king[00:00:57]
Big Blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons[00:01:10]
Though most of them feel victim to[00:01:18]
The cruel harpoon guns[00:01:20]
Ah but he was too much wise to[00:01:23]
Get caught by the gunner's eyes[00:01:25]
And so he lived at sea a hundred years[00:01:32]
His mouth was as large as a tunnel [00:01:49]
So they say[00:01:53]
His hide was thick as leather[00:01:58]
And his eyes quick and small[00:02:00]
And his back was all scarred by[00:02:03]
The times he got away[00:02:06]
And he knew the smell of whalers [00:02:12]
Did Big Blue[00:02:14]
Big Blue passed away to his natural decay[00:02:30]
Beside the Arctic Circle as he traveled up that way[00:02:39]
And there never was a man who[00:02:43]
Was born with a gunner's hand[00:02:46]
Who ever took a pan to Big Blue[00:02:53]
Now the gray whale has run and[00:03:10]
The sperm is almost done[00:03:13]
The fin backs and the Greenland[00:03:19]
Rights have all passed and gone[00:03:21]
They've been taken by the men for[00:03:24]
The money they could spend[00:03:27]
And the killing never ends it just goes on[00:03:33]
The oceans of the earth were[00:03:48]
The home of Big Blue[00:03:51]
He was the greatest monster[00:03:57]
That the world ever knew[00:03:59]
And the place that he loved[00:04:02]
Best was the waters to the west[00:04:04]
Around the blue Pacific he did roam[00:04:11]
