Greenland Fishing - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three[00:00:10]
And of June the thirteenth day[00:00:14]
That our gallant ship her anchor weighed[00:00:19]
And for Greenland bore away brave boys[00:00:24]
And for Greenland bore away[00:00:28]
The lookout in the crosstrees stood[00:00:33]
With his spy glass in his hand[00:00:37]
There's a Whale there's a Whale there's a Whale fish he cried[00:00:42]
And she blows at every span[00:00:46]
Brave boys[00:00:50]
And she blows at every span[00:00:51]
And the Captain stood on the quarterdeck[00:00:56]
And a fine little man was he[00:01:00]
Overhaul overhaul let your davit tackles fall[00:01:04]
And launch your boats for sea[00:01:09]
Brave boys[00:01:12]
And launch your boats for sea[00:01:13]
Now the boats were launched and the men aboard[00:01:18]
And the Whale was in full view[00:01:22]
Resolved was each seaman bold[00:01:26]
To steer where the Whale fishes blew[00:01:31]
Brave boys[00:01:34]
To steer where the Whale fishes blew[00:01:36]
We struck that Whale and the line paid out[00:01:40]
But she gave a flourish with her tail[00:01:44]
And the boat capsized and four men were drowned[00:01:49]
And we never caught that Whale[00:01:53]
Brave boys[00:01:57]
And we never caught that Whale[00:01:58]
To lose the Whale our Captain cried[00:02:02]
It grieves my heart full sore[00:02:07]
But oh to lose four gallant men[00:02:11]
It grieves me four times more brave boys[00:02:16]
It grieves me four times more[00:02:20]
Oh Greenland is a dreadful place[00:02:25]
A land that's never green[00:02:30]
Where there's ice and snow and the Whale fishes blow[00:02:34]
And the daylight's seldom ever seen brave boys[00:02:38]
And the daylight's seldom ever seen[00:02:43]
