'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty-three And of June the thirteenth day, That our gallant ship her anchor weighed, And for greenland bore away, brave boys, And for greenland bore away. 2. The lookout in the crosstrees stood With spyglass in his hand; There's a whale, there's a whale, there's whalefish he cried And she blows at every span, brave boys She blows at every span. 3. The captain stood on the quarter deck, And a fine little man was he; "Overhaul, overhaul! Let your davit tackles fall, And launch your boats for sea, brave boys And launch your boats for sea. 4. Now the boats were launched and the men aboard, And the whale was full in view. Resolv-ed was each seaman bold To steer where the whalefish blew, brave boys To steer where the whalefish blew. 5. We stuck the whale the line paid out, But she gave a flourish with her tail, The boat capsized and four men were drowned, And we never caught that whale, brave boys, And we never caught that whale. 6. "To lose the whale," our captain said, It grieves my heart full sore, But oh! to lose (those) four gallant men It grieves me ten times more brave boys It grieves me ten times more. 7. The winter star doth now appear, So, boys we'll anchor weight; It's time to leave this cold country And homeward bear away, brave boys And homeward bear away. 8. Oh greenland is a dreadful place A land that's never green Where there's ice and snow, and the whalefishes blow (and the) daylight's seldom seen brave boys But the daylight's seldom seen. 1984 see also GREENLAN @sailor @work @death @animal recorded by Weavers and MacColl filename[ GRNFISH play.exe GRNFISH DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Griesly Bride, Grimsby Lads, Griselda, Gruel, Guantanamera, guas De Maro, Guatemala Anthem Text, Guatemala Native Anthem Text, Gunboat Sailors, Guy Fawkes, Gypsy Davey, Gypsy Laddie, Gypsy Laddies, Gypsy Love Song, Gypsy Rover, Gypsys Warning, Hail The Yurt, Hal An Tow, Hallelujah Im A Bum, Halleys Comet, Halls Of Montezuma, Hame Dearie Hame, Hamlet, Hand Me Down, Handsome Cabin Boy, Handsome Molly, Handsome Young Sailor, Hangin Johnny, Hangman Or The Prickilie Bush, Happiness Is Just A Thing Called Joe, Happy Days, Happy Family, Happy Man, Hard Aint It Hard, Hard Cheese Of Old England, Hard Crackers Come Again No More, Hard Life Of The Cut, Hard Love, Hard Times Come Again No More, Hard Times Of Old England, Hard Working Miner, Hares On The Mountain, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Harmony, Harp Without A Crown, Harrison Brady, Hartley Bill, Harvestsupper Song, Haughs of Cromdale, Haul Awa, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
