She had not been
|
|
|
|
Two weeks from shore
|
|
|
|
When down on her
|
|
|
|
A right whale bore
|
|
|
|
The captain called
|
|
|
|
All hands and swore
|
|
|
|
He'd take that whale in tow

Before the boat had hit the water
|
|
|
|
The whale's tail came up
|
|
|
|
And caught her
|
|
|
|
All hands to the side
|
|
|
|
Harpooned and fought her
|
|
|
|
When she dived down low
|

No line was cut
|
|
|
|
No whale was freed
|
|
|
|
The Captain's mind
|
|
|
|
Was not of greed
|
|
|
|
And he belonged
|
|
|
|
To the whaleman's creed
|
|
|
|
She took that ship in tow

For forty days, or even more
|
|
|
|
The line went slack
|
|
|
|
Then tight once more
|
|
|
|
All boats were lost
|
|
|
|
There were only four
|
|
|
|
But still that whale did go
|

As far as I've heard

|
The fight's still on
|
|
|
|
The line's not cut
|
|
|
|
And the whale's not gone
|
|
|
|
The Wellerman makes
|
|
|
|
His regular call
|
|
|
|
To encourage the Captain
|
|
|
|
Crew, and all
