When the whale get strike

And the line runs out

And the whale makes a flunder with it's tail

And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin' man

No more no more

Greenland for you

Brave boys

No more no more

Greenland for you

Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three

On June the thirteenth day

That our gallant ship her anchor weighed

And for greenland sailed away brave boys

And for greenland sailed away

The lookout on the crosstree stood

With a spyglass in his hand

There's a whale there's a whale

There's a whalefish he cried

And she blows at every span

Brave boys

She blows at every span

Well we struck that whale and the line played out

But she gave a flunder with her tail

And the boat capsized and four men were drowned

And we never caught that whale

We never caught that whale

Oh to lose that whale

My captain cried

It grieves my heart full sore

But to lose four of my gallant men

It grieves me ten times more

Brave boys

It grieves me ten times more

Oh greenland is a dreadful place

It's a land that's never green

Where there's ice and snow

And the whalefishes blow

And daylight's seldom seen brave boys

And daylight's seldom seen

When the whale gets strike

And the line runs out

And the whale makes a flunder with it's tail

And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin' man

No more no more greenland for you

Brave boys

No more no more greenland

For you
