《Greenland Whale Fisheries》歌词

[00:00:00] Greenland Whale Fisheries - The Pogues

[00:00:09] In eighteen hundred and forty-six

[00:00:13] And of March the eighteenth day

[00:00:16] We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast

[00:00:19] And for Greenland sailed away brave boys

[00:00:24] And for Greenland sailed away

[00:00:28] The lookout in the crosstrees stood

[00:00:31] With spyglass in his hand;

[00:00:34] There's a whale there's a whale

[00:00:36] And a whalefish he cried

[00:00:38] And she blows at every span brave boys

[00:00:42] She blows at every span

[00:00:47] The captain stood on the quarter deck

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

[00:00:53] Overhaul overhaul Let your gibsheets fall

[00:00:57] And you'll put your boats to sea brave boys

[00:01:01] And you'll put your boats to sea

[00:01:06] Our harpoon struck and the line played out

[00:01:09] With a single flourish of his tail

[00:01:12] He capsized the boat and we lost five men

[00:01:16] And we did not catch the whale brave boys

[00:01:20] And we did not catch the whale

[00:01:38] The losing of those five jolly men

[00:01:41] It grieved the captain sore

[00:01:44] But the losing of that fine whalefish

[00:01:48] Now it grieved him ten times more brave boys

[00:01:52] Now it grieved him ten times more

[00:01:56] Oh Greenland is a barren land

[00:02:00] A land that bares no green

[00:02:03] Where there's ice and snow

[00:02:05] And the whalefishes blow

[00:02:06] And the daylight's seldom seen brave boys

[00:02:11] And the daylight's seldom seen
