《Greenland Whale Fisheries》歌词

[00:00:01] Greenland Whale Fisheries—The Pogues

[00:00:16] In eighteen hundred and forty-six

[00:00:19] And of March the eighteenth day

[00:00:22] We hoisted our colors to the top of the mast

[00:00:26] And for Greenland sailed away brave boys

[00:00:30] And for Greenland sailed away

[00:00:34] The lookout in the crosstrees stood

[00:00:38] With spyglass in his hand;

[00:00:41] There's a whale there's a whale

[00:00:43] And a whalefish he cried

[00:00:45] And she blows at every span brave boys

[00:00:50] She blows at every span

[00:00:53] The captain stood on the quarter deck

[00:00:57] The ice was in his eye;

[00:01:00] Overhaul overhaul Let your gibsheets fall

[00:01:04] And you'll put your boats to sea brave boys

[00:01:08] And you'll put your boats to sea

[00:01:12] Our harpoon struck and the line played out

[00:01:16] With a single flourish of his tail

[00:01:19] He capsized the boat and we lost five men

[00:01:23] And we did not catch the whale brave boys

[00:01:27] And we did not catch the whale

[00:01:45] The losing of those five jolly men

[00:01:48] It grieved the captain sore

[00:01:52] But the losing of that fine whalefish

[00:01:55] Now it grieved him ten times more brave boys

[00:02:00] Now it grieved him ten times more

[00:02:04] Oh Greenland is a barren land

[00:02:08] A land that bares no green

[00:02:11] Where there's ice and snow and the whalefishes blow

[00:02:15] And the daylight's seldom seen brave boys

[00:02:19] And the daylight's seldom seen
