Greenland – Back Of The Moon – letras

Greenland is a hell of a placeIt’s a place that’s never greenWhere there’s ice and snow, and the whale fishes blowAnd the daylight’s seldom seen, brave boysThe daylight’s seldom seenIn eighteen hundred and sixty-fourOn June the thirteen dayOur gallant ship her anchor weighedAnd for Greenland sailed away, brave boysFor Greenland sailed awayWell, our captain, he stood on the quarter deckWith a spy glass in his handThere’s a whale, there’s a whale, there’s a bloody great whaleAnd she blows on every span, brave boysShe blows on every spanWe hit that whale and the line paid outAnd she made a flunder with her tailAnd the boat capsized and ten men were drownedAnd we ne’er did catch that whale, brave boysWe ne’er did catch that whaleWell, the losing of those ten brave menIt grieves my heart full soreBut the losing of that bloody great whaleIt grieves me ten times more, brave boysIt grieves me ten times moreGreenland is a hell of a placeIt’s a place that’s never greenWhere there’s ice and snow, and the whale fishes blowAnd the daylight’s seldom seen, brave boysThe daylight’s seldom seen(3x)
