Song information

Lyrics
When the whale get strike and the line runs out And the whale makes a flunder with its tail And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin' man No more, no more greenland for you, brave boys No more, no more greenland for you
Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three On june the thirteenth day That our gallant ship her anchor weighed And for greenland sailed away, brave boys And for greenland sailed away
The lookout on the crosstree stood With a spyglass in his hand There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whalefish, he cried And she blows at every span, brave boys She blows at every span!
Well we struck that whale and the line played out But she gave a flunder with her tail And the boat capsized and four men were drowned And we never caught that whale We never caught that whale
Oh, to lose that whale, my captain cried It grieves my heart full sore But to lose four of my gallant men It grieves me ten times more, brave boys It grieves me ten times more!
Oh, greenland is a dreadful place It's a land that's never green Where there's ice and snow and the whalefishes blow And daylight's seldom seen, brave boys And daylight's seldom seen
When the whale gets strike, and the line runs out And the whale makes a flunder with its tail And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin' man No more, no more greenland for you, brave boys No more, no more greenland for you
