《Farewell to Tarwathie》歌词

[00:00:00] Farewell to Tarwathie - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:12] Farewell to Tarwathie

[00:00:15] Adieu Mormond Hill

[00:00:18] And the dear land of Crimmond

[00:00:21] I bid you farewell

[00:00:24] I'm bound off for Greenland

[00:00:26] And ready to sail

[00:00:30] In hopes to find riches

[00:00:33] Hunting the whale

[00:00:43] Adieu to my comrades

[00:00:45] For a while we must part

[00:00:48] And likewise the dear lass

[00:00:51] Who fare won my heart

[00:00:54] The cold ice of Greenland

[00:00:57] My love will not chill

[00:01:00] And the longer my absence

[00:01:03] More loving she'll feel

[00:01:12] Our ship is well rigged

[00:01:15] And she's ready to sail

[00:01:18] A crew they are anxious

[00:01:21] To follow the whale

[00:01:24] Where the icebergs do float

[00:01:27] And the stormy winds blow

[00:01:30] Where the land and the ocean

[00:01:33] Are covered with snow

[00:01:42] The cold coast of Greenland

[00:01:45] Is barren and bare

[00:01:48] No see time nor harvest

[00:01:51] Is ever known there

[00:01:54] And the birds here sing sweetly

[00:01:57] On mountain and dale

[00:02:00] But the reason to birdie

[00:02:03] To sing to the whale

[00:02:11] There is no habitation

[00:02:14] For a man to live there

[00:02:18] And the king of that country

[00:02:20] Is the fierce Greenland bear

[00:02:24] And there'll be no temptation

[00:02:26] To tarry long there

[00:02:30] With our ship under full

[00:02:32] We will homeward repair
