Whaling Ship     Credits: Martin Swan     Appears On: Seafaring Man     Language: English

Lyrics:

And in her heart she knows that he would defend her
And travel far and wide to be by her side
And calling out his name, she longs for the winter
And for the day that he would walk up the lane

For he's away on a whaling ship
For he's away on a whaling ship
And it was bound for Greenland
For he's away on a whaling ship
For he's away on a whaling ship
And it was bound for Greenland

And on a whaling vessel he set sail from her
She hid her tears from him and laughed at the rain
But now the earth is dry and the acres untended
And many thieves and outlaws walk up the lane

For he's away on a whaling ship
For he's away on a whaling ship
And it was bound for Greenland...
