Testo Greenland Fishery - Bonny Light Horseman feat. Eric D. Johnson, Anaïs Mitchell & Josh Kaufman
Testo della canzone Greenland Fishery (Bonny Light Horseman feat. Eric D. Johnson, Anaïs Mitchell & Josh Kaufman), tratta dall'album Green Rocky Road
No more, no more can we stay on shore
Gonna work for the company
Where there's ice and there's snow
And the whale fishes blow
In the Greenland fishery, boys
The Greenland fishery
The lookout climbed the topmast high
With a spyglass in his hand
There's a whale, there's a whale
There's a whale fish, he cried
And she blows at every span, boys
She blows at every span
And the captain stood on the quarter deck
And the ice was in his eye
Overhaul, overhaul
Let your davit tackle fall
Let your harpoon fly, boys
Let your harpoon fly
(Instrumental)
The harpoon struck and the line played out
But the fish gave a flourish with her tail
And the boats capsized and we lost a dozen men
And a hundred barrels of oil, boys
A hundred barrels of oil
Well the losing of a dozen brave men
It grieved the company sore
But the losing of all those dollars and cents
Grieved them ten times more, boys
Grieved them ten times more
