Lyrics:
A F#m
FAREWELL AND ADIEU LOVE
D A
I'M BOUND FOR TO SAIL
A F#m
TO THE COLD COAST OF GREENLAND
D A
TO CAPTURE THE WHALE
F#m D
AND THERE'LL BE NO TEMPTATION
D A
TO TARRY THERE LONG
A F#m
FOR THE WIND AND THE SNOW LOVE
D A
WILL SING US THEIR SONG
FAREWELL AND ADIEU LOVE
D A
I'M BOUND FOR TO SAIL
A F#m
TO THE COLD COAST OF GREENLAND
D A
TO CAPTURE THE WHALE
F#m D
AND THERE'LL BE NO TEMPTATION
D A
TO TARRY THERE LONG
A F#m
FOR THE WIND AND THE SNOW LOVE
D A
WILL SING US THEIR SONG
IT'S A HARD SEA TO TRAVEL
THROUGH THE STORM AND THE GALE
AND THERE'S NO COMPENSATION
BUT TO HUNT FOR THE WHALE
WITH OUR OILSKINS AND SLICKERS
AND OUR BOOTS TO THE KNEE
WE WILL ROLL AND WE'LL PITCH
THROUGH THE COLD GREENLAND SEA
OH THE PRIZE THAT WE SEEK LOVE
IS AS BOLD AND AS FINE
AS THE FASTEST OF STEEDS
OR THE FINEST OF WINE
HE COULD EASILY SEND US
WITH THE POWER OF HIS TAIL
TO A WATERY GRAVE
AH THE GREAT GREENLAND WHALE
FAREWELL AND ADIEU LOVE
I'M BOUND FOR TO SAIL
TO THE COLD COAST OF GREENLAND
TO CAPTURE THE WHALE
AND THERE'LL BE NO TEMPTATION
TO TARRY THERE LONG
FOR THE WIND AND THE SNOW LOVE
WILL SING US THEIR SONG
