The Greenland Whale Fishery
They took us jolly sailor lads
A-fishing for the whale.
On the fourth day of August in 1864
Bound for Greenland we set sail.
The lookout stood on the cross-trees high
With a spyglass in his hand.
“There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whale-fish,” he cried,
“And she blows at every span.”
The captain stood on the quarterdeck,
And a sod of a man was he.
“Overhaul, overhaul, let your davit tackles fall.”
And we'll launch them boats to sea.
We struck that whale and the line played out
But she gave a flurry with her tail.
And the boat capsized, we lost seven of our men,
And we never caught that whale.
Now the losing of seven fine seamen,
It grieved the captain sore.
But the losing of a bloody sperm whale
Oh, it grieved him ten times more.
Now, Greenland is a horrid place,
Where our fisher lads have to go,
Where the rose and the lily never bloom in spring;
No there's only ice and snow

Cruel Mother

There was a lady lived in York
All alone and a-loney
A farmer's son, he courted her
All down by the greenwood sidey
He courted her for seven long years
All alone and a-loney
At last she proved in child by him
All down by the greenwood sidey
Oh, dear babe, if you were mine
All alone and a-loney
I'd dress you in silk and satin so fine
All down by the greenwood sidey

King Herod and the Cock
There was a star in David's land
In David's land appeared
And in King Herod's chamber
So bright it did shine there
The wise men they soon spied it
And told the King a-nigh
That a Prince's babe was born that night
No King shall e'er destroy
If this be the truth, King Herod said
That thou hast told to me
The roasted cock that lies in the dish
Shall crow full senses three
Oh the cock soon thrustened and feathered well
By the work of god's own hand
And he did crow full senses three
In the dish where he did stand
