letra de humpback whale - richard shindell
written by harry robertson
fifty six i sailed aboard
a ship called byron one
she’s carried trawler men on deck
and a harpoon whaling gun
chorus:
oh you trawlermen, come on
forget your snapper and your prawn
for it’s out of ballina we’ll sail
fishing for the humpback whale
a tractor for a whale winch
and the ship’s an all fair mile
twin diesels turn the screws around
she’ll whale in a fine old style
[ chorus ]
keep a sharp look-out my lads
the whale he’s on the run
and we’ll drive him into byron bay
and we’ll shoot him with our gun
[ chorus ]
the harpoon and the line fly through
very deep into the whale
she split the timbers of the ship
with a flurry of her tail
[ chorus ]
the rugging struts are snapped in two
we reel beneath the blow
the gunner fires a k!ller shot
and that humpback’s sent below
[ chorus ]
make the tail fast to the bows
we got no more time for bed
for four and twenty hours each day
we kept that factory fed
[ chorus ]
the friends and men upon the land
some had been jackaroos
they skin the blubber from the whales
like they were skinning kangaroos
[ chorus ]
a hundred whales and then fifty more
through the factory we did send
and then the orders came – knock off me lads
your season’s at an end
[ chorus ]
back in to ballina we steered
tied up and stowed the gear
all hands headed for the pub
and we filled ourselves with beer
[ chorus ]
