《Old Polina》歌词

[00:00:00] There's a noble fleet of whalers, they're sailing from Dundee

[00:00:04] Manned by British sailors that take them o'er the sea.

[00:00:07] On a western ocean passage, we started on the trip

[00:00:11] We flew along just like a song on a gallant whaling ship.

[00:00:15] Was the second Sunday morning, just after leaving port,

[00:00:18] We met a heavy sou'west gale and washed away our boat

[00:00:22] It washed away our quarterdeck, our stanchions just as well,

[00:00:26] And so we set the whole shabang a floatin' in the gale.

[00:00:29] For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

[00:00:33] There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

[00:00:36] Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

[00:00:40] We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.

[00:00:43] Art Jackman set his canvas, Fair Weather galloped steam

[00:00:47] But Captain Guy the daring boy came plunging through the stream

[00:00:51] And Mullins in the Husky tried to beat the bloody lot

[00:00:54] But to beat the Old Polina was something he could not.

[00:00:58] For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

[00:01:01] There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

[00:01:05] Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

[00:01:09] We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.

[00:01:26] There's the noble Terra Nova, a model without doubt,

[00:01:30] The Arctic and Aurora, they talk so much about.

[00:01:34] Art Jackman's model mail boat, the terror of the sea,

[00:01:37] Tried to beat the old Polina on a passage from Dundee.

[00:01:40] For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

[00:01:44] There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

[00:01:48] Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

[00:01:52] We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.

[00:02:03] Now we're back in old St. John's where rum is very cheap

[00:02:06] We'll drink a health to Captain Guy who brought us o'er the deep,

[00:02:09] A health to all our sweethearts, and to our wives so fair,

[00:02:13] Not another ship could make the trip, the Polina I declare!

[00:02:16] For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

[00:02:20] There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

[00:02:24] Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

[00:02:27] We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.

[00:02:31] For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

[00:02:34] There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

[00:02:38] Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

[00:02:42] We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.
