text: When the whale get strike and the line runs out
  And the whale makes a flunder with its tail
  And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin man
  No more, no more Greenland for you, brave boys
  No more, no more Greenland for you
  Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty three
  On June the thirteenth day
  That our gallant ship her anchor weighed
  And for Greenland sailed away, brave boys
  And for Greenland sailed away
  The lookout on the crosstree stood
  With a spyglass in his hand
  Theres a whale, theres a whale, theres a whalefish, he cried
  And she blows at every span, brave boys
  She blows at every span!
  Well we struck that whale and the line played out
  But she gave a flunder with her tail
  And the boat capsized and four men were drowned
  And we never caught that whale
  We never caught that whale
  Oh, to lose that whale, my captain cried
  It grieves my heart full sore
  But to lose four of my gallant men
  It grieves me ten times more, brave boys
  It grieves me ten times more!
  Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place
  Its a land thats never green
  Where theres ice and snow and the whalefishes blow
  And daylights seldom seen, brave boys
  And daylights seldom seen
  When the whale gets strike, and the line runs out
  And the whale makes a flunder with its tail
  And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin man
  No more, no more Greenland for you, brave boys
  No more, no more Greenland for you
