Letra de Greenland Bound

Once more for Greenland we are bound
To leave you all behind;
Our ship is painted green and out blubber hooks are keen
And we sail before the icy wind
We left our sweethearts and our wives
A-weeping on the pier
Cheer up, my dears, we soon shall return
For it's only half a year
With tarry dress we reached Stromness
Where we do go ashore
With whalermen so scarce and the water even less
We’ll havе to take on more
And when wе came to the northern ice
We crowded on full sail
Each boat well-manned with a keen and lively band
All for to hunt the whale
Now dark and dreary grows the night
And the stars begin to burn
With the chasing of the whale and the trying of the oil
And it seems like we'll never return
Our six-month being done, we tie up again
And the lads all go ashore
With plenty of brass and a bonny bonny lass
For to make them ravers roar
To Greenland's coast we’ll drink a toast
And to them we love so dear
And across the icy main to the whaling grounds again
We'll take a trip next year
