The Whale

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…

We'll sail into the harbour no prouder men there’ll be;
