《Greenland Fishing》歌词

[00:00:00] Greenland Fishing - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:10] 'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three

[00:00:14] And of June the thirteenth day

[00:00:19] That our gallant ship her anchor weighed

[00:00:24] And for Greenland bore away brave boys

[00:00:28] And for Greenland bore away

[00:00:33] The lookout in the crosstrees stood

[00:00:37] With his spy glass in his hand

[00:00:42] There's a Whale there's a Whale there's a Whale fish he cried

[00:00:46] And she blows at every span

[00:00:50] Brave boys

[00:00:51] And she blows at every span

[00:00:56] And the Captain stood on the quarterdeck

[00:01:00] And a fine little man was he

[00:01:04] Overhaul overhaul let your davit tackles fall

[00:01:09] And launch your boats for sea

[00:01:12] Brave boys

[00:01:13] And launch your boats for sea

[00:01:18] Now the boats were launched and the men aboard

[00:01:22] And the Whale was in full view

[00:01:26] Resolved was each seaman bold

[00:01:31] To steer where the Whale fishes blew

[00:01:34] Brave boys

[00:01:36] To steer where the Whale fishes blew

[00:01:40] We struck that Whale and the line paid out

[00:01:44] But she gave a flourish with her tail

[00:01:49] And the boat capsized and four men were drowned

[00:01:53] And we never caught that Whale

[00:01:57] Brave boys

[00:01:58] And we never caught that Whale

[00:02:02] To lose the Whale our Captain cried

[00:02:07] It grieves my heart full sore

[00:02:11] But oh to lose four gallant men

[00:02:16] It grieves me four times more brave boys

[00:02:20] It grieves me four times more

[00:02:25] Oh Greenland is a dreadful place

[00:02:30] A land that's never green

[00:02:34] Where there's ice and snow and the Whale fishes blow

[00:02:38] And the daylight's seldom ever seen brave boys

[00:02:43] And the daylight's seldom ever seen
