Lyrics
They sailed from port one morning the weather it was fair
A gentle breeze it pushed them and no one gave a care
They sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up a keg
They're out to catch the monster whale that took the captain's leg
The Captain said, "A piece of gold for him who sees me whale
So bend your backs and row me boys I know that we won't fail!"
So bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale
Tonight we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we'll sail
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder man there'll be
We'll show them all we captured the monster from the sea
They spied the whale one morning the weather it was fair
The men were white as ghosts, the Captain didn't care
"I'll take this whale meself" he cried "the weak can stay behind
The strong can share my glory and tonight they'll share my wine"
The whale it came so close it was bigger than the sky
They lowered down the longboat and they heard the captain cry
Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale...
The whale it came so close it almost tipped the boat
The captain took his harpoon and rammed it down it's throat
The whale it gave a mournful cry and lifted it's great tail
And brought it down a crashing on their small boat like a gale
Now 100 years have passed since the Captain and his men
Went down to spend eternity in Davy Jones' den
The whale it goes on living but inside it bears a scar
And if you're ever near that place a voice calls from afar...
