Verse 1
G
D
G
In 1846, on March the 18th day,
We hoisted our colors
to the top of our mass,
And for Greenland sailed away,
brave boys,
And for Greenland sailed away.
D
G
The lookout on the main mass stood,
A spyglass in his hand,
There's a whale,
there's a whale,
There's a whale, fishy cried,
Am
G
D
And he blows at every span, Brie Boys,
G
Am
G
And he blows at every span.
D
G
The captain on the quarter deck,
The ice was in his eye,
Over haul, over haul,
Let your jib sheets fall,
And go put your boats to sea,
G
And go put your boats to sea.
The whale was full in view
Resolved,
resolved was each fisherman bold
Am
G
For to steer where the whalefish flew,
brave boys
C
G
For to steer where the whalefish flew
The harpoon struck and the
line played out
With a single flourish of his tail
He capsized our boat
and we lost five men
And we did not catch that whale,
brave boys
C
G
And we did not catch that whale
D
G
The losin' of those five brave men
It grieved our captain sore
But the losin' of that fine whale fish
C
G
Oh, it grieved him ten times more,
brave boys
C
G
Oh, it grieved him ten times more
D
G
Up anchor now the captain he cried
For the winter stars do appear
And it's time we left this cold country
G
Am
G
And for homeland we did steer,
G
Am
G
And for homeland we did steer
