[00:00:00] Composed by：Nine-8ths Irish

[00:00:01] Was in eighteen hundred and forty-six

[00:00:05] On march the eighteenth day

[00:00:09] That we hoisted our colors to the top of the mast

[00:00:14] For greenland sailed the away brave boys

[00:00:18] For greenland sailed away

[00:00:23] The lookout on the crosstrees stood

[00:00:27] A spyglass in his hand

[00:00:31] There's a whale there's a whale

[00:00:34] There's a whalefish he cried

[00:00:36] She blows at every span brave boys

[00:00:41] She blows at every span

[00:00:45] The captain stood on the quarter deck

[00:00:50] The ice was in his eye in his eye

[00:00:54] Overhaul overhaul let your gibsheets fall

[00:00:59] And put your boats to sea brave boys

[00:01:03] And put your boats to sea

[00:01:08] The harpoon struck and the line played out

[00:01:12] And a whale gave thunder with his feet

[00:01:15] Thunder with his tail

[00:01:16] And a bob capsized and five men were drown

[00:01:21] We did not catch the whale brave boys

[00:01:26] We did not catch the whale

[00:01:30] Oh the losing of those five jolly men

[00:01:34] It grieved the captain for sore captain for sore

[00:01:38] But the losing of that great whalefish

[00:01:43] It grieved him ten times more brave boys

[00:01:47] It grieved him ten times more

[00:01:52] Oh the winter star doth now appear

[00:01:56] So boys we'll anchor weight anchor weight

[00:02:01] Boy it's time to leave this cold country

[00:02:05] And homeward bear away brave boys

[00:02:10] Yes homeward bear we

[00:02:14] Greenland is a dreadful place

[00:02:19] It's a land that's never green

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

[00:02:28] And daylight's seldom seen brave boys

[00:02:32] And daylight's seldom seen
