storm weather shanty choir - whitby whaler lyrics

Loading...

(la, la, la, la, la)

farewell, love, me canny lass
farewell, whitby town
we’re away to the seas in our tall ships
to hunt the whale fish down

farewell, love, our ship is rigged
we’re ready to be sailing
so, go inside and shut the door
the tide is quickly making

our captain william scoresby
stands on the quarter deck
and he tells the mate to make for sea
and all his tackle check

our fiddler plays as we make for the sea
to get the ship full rigged
while the first mate walks the long foredeck
and calls us worse than pigs

it’s check the boats and davits too
so this day ain’t your last
and harpooner when the whale fish blows
your shooting must be fast
farewell, love, me canny lass
farewell, whitby town
we’re away to the seas in our tall ships
to hunt the whale fish down
to hunt the whale fish down

and when the purple blood does spout
don’t let your stomachs turn
but get the whale alongside
its blubber we will burn

and we’ll trice its mighty jawbones
to the foremast head
and we’ll set the ship to whitby town
for homeward we must head

farewell, love, me canny lass
farewell, whitby town
we’re away to the seas in our tall ships
to hunt the whale fish down
to hunt the whale fish down

so, get the kids to bed, love
when they wake, i’ll be gone
for me, don’t fear, don’t shed no tear
while i’m away from home
just keep a watch from west cliff
to see when we come past
a tall ship through the misty morn
with jawbones on the mast

farewell, love, me canny lass
farewell, whitby town
we’re away to the seas in our tall ships
to hunt the whale fish down

farewell, love, me canny lass
farewell, whitby town
we’re away to the seas in our tall ships
to hunt the whale fish down
to hunt the whale fish down
