Oh Greenland is a dreadful place, |
| [00:03.940] |
It’s a land that's never green, |
| [00:07.692] |
Well there's ice and snow and the whale fish blow |
| [00:11.698] |
And the daylight seldom seen , brave boys, |
| [00:14.960] |
And the daylight seldom seen. |
| [00:19.208] |
It was eighteen-hundred and fifty-three |
| [00:22.961] |
On the June the thirteenth day, |
| [00:26.697] |
That our gallant ship her anchor weighed |
| [00:30.702] |
And for Greenland bore away, brave boys, |
| [00:34.439] |
And for Greenland bore away. |
| [00:38.195] |
Well the lookout stood on the crosstrees high |
| [00:42.206] |
With a spy-glass in his hand. |
| [00:45.963] |
“There's a whale, there's a whale, |
| [00:47.946] |
there's a bloody great whale!” |
| [00:49.942] |
“And she blows on every span, brave boys, |
| [00:53.691] |
And she blows on every span!” |
| [00:57.695] |
Well, our Captain walked on the quarterdeck |
| [01:01.692] |
And a stern-looking man was he. |
| [01:05.198] |
“Overhaul, overhaul, let your davit tackles fall!” |
| [01:09.204] |
And we launched our boats to sea, brave boys, |
| [01:12.954] |
And we launched our boats to sea! |
| [01:16.952] |
Well, the harpoon struck, and the line paid out |
| [01:20.705] |
But she gave a flourish with her tail. |
| [01:24.444] |
And our boat capsized and four men were drowned |
| [01:31.388] |
And we never caught that whale |
| [01:35.141] |
Now, to lose that whale, my captain cried, |
| [01:38.901] |
It grieves my heart full sore |
| [01:42.653] |
But oh to lose those four gallant men |
| [01:46.633] |
It grieves me ten times more, brave boys, |
| [01:50.395] |
It grieves me ten times more! |
| [01:54.633] |
Oh Greenland is a dreadful place, |
| [01:58.138] |
Where our fisher lads have to go, |
| [02:01.887] |
Where the rose and the lily never bloom in spring; |
| [02:10.153] |
No there's only ice and snow. |
