The Ballad of the Greenland Whalers - Chat Mitchell Trio[00:00:00]

Written by：Chad Mitchell[00:00:00]

On the twenty third day of the month of June[00:00:03]

In the year of '54[00:00:06]

They signed us weary whaler men[00:00:09]

To sail for greenland's shore brave boys[00:00:12]

To sail for greenland's shore[00:00:16]

Our gallant ship her sails we set[00:00:19]

For the icy greenland ground[00:00:22]

Well they said[00:00:25]

We'd take about a score or two a whale[00:00:26]

Before we're six months bound brave boys[00:00:28]

Before we're six months bound[00:00:32]

Oh the lookout up in the crosstree stood[00:00:35]

With a spyglass in his hand[00:00:38]

There's a whale there's a whale[00:00:41]

There's a whale fish he cried[00:00:43]

She blows on every span brave boys[00:00:44]

She blows on every span[00:00:48]

The captain stood on the quarterdeck[00:00:51]

With his eye to the icy sea[00:00:54]

Overhaul overhaul[00:00:57]

Let your davit tackles fall[00:00:59]

Put your boats on the water[00:01:00]

Cried he brave boys[00:01:02]

Put your boats on the water[00:01:04]

Cried he[00:01:05]

Well the boats got down and the crews aboard[00:01:07]

And the whale was in full view[00:01:10]

And the bosun roared[00:01:13]

Put your backs to the oars[00:01:15]

And steer where the whale fish blew[00:01:17]

Brave boys[00:01:19]

And steer where the whale fish blew[00:01:20]

Brave boys[00:01:35]

And steer where the whale fish blew[00:01:36]

Well the harpoon struck[00:01:39]

And the line played out[00:01:41]

And the whale gave a thunder with its tail[00:01:42]

And the boat capsized killing half a dozen men[00:01:45]

And we never did catch that whale[00:01:49]

Brave boys[00:01:52]

We never did catch that whale[00:01:53]

To lose those men[00:01:58]

The captain said[00:01:59]

Well it grieves my heart full sore[00:02:01]

But we knew the losing of that hundred barrel whale[00:02:04]

Well it grieved him ten times more[00:02:08]

Brave boys[00:02:11]

It grieved him ten times more[00:02:12]

Oh greenland is a dreadful place[00:02:16]

It's a place that's never green[00:02:20]

Where there's ice and snow[00:02:23]

And the whale fishes blow[00:02:25]

And the daylight's seldom seen[00:02:27]

Brave boys[00:02:29]

The daylight's seldom seen[00:02:31]
