Em  D6  Am  Em
[Chorus]
Clew Gup your Froyals and Gtops'ls
Haul your Fheads'ls Gdown
For you'll Emnever see the Amwhale no more
Or the Emcold South DGeorgia Emground
[Instrumental]
Em  D6  Am  Em
[Verse]
Black twenty-Aninth, Emnineteen-Aten
The Emlittle brig, Daisy, did B7sail
The Emmorning was Dclear and the Gsea was down
And we Amraised a great pod of Emwhale
[Verse]
The captain had Athree of the Emboats lowered Adown
And Emin them the mates they did B7go
There was EmMister Da DLomba and GMister Alves
And AmMister Eneos alEmso
[Chorus]
Clew Gup your Froyals and Gtops'ls
Haul your Fheads'ls Gdown
For you'll Emnever see the Amwhale no more
Or the Emcold South DGeorgia Emground
[Instrumental]
Em  D6  Am  Em
[Verse]
The whales did Arise a Emmile from the Aship
And Emthe other two mates made their B7kill
But EmMister EDneos was Gcaught in the pod
Where the Amwhales were lying Emstill
[Verse]
Mister EAneos stood Emstill in the Abow
He Emhad his lance in his B7hand
But the Emwhale he had Dharpooned would Gnot break away
And would Amneither sound nor Emrun
[Bridge]
It Gstruck at the Fboat and it Glifted her high
And the men fell out Fover the Gstern
We Emsaw the flukes come a-Amthrashing down
Where EmMister EDneos had Embeen
[Instrumental]
Em  D6  Am  Em
[Chorus]
Clew Gup your Froyals and Gtops'ls
Haul your Fheads'ls Gdown
For you'll Emnever see the Amwhale no more
Or the Emcold South DGeorgia Emground

Em  D6  Am  Em
[Verse]
The captain had the Astern boat Emlowered aAway
And we Emsearched where the whales did B7sound
Five men we Emgathered from Dout the Gsea
But AmMister Eneos was Emgone
[Instrumental]
Em  D6  Am  Em
[Chorus]
Clew Gup your Froyals and Gtops'ls
Haul your Fheads'ls Gdown
For you'll Emnever see the Amwhale no more
Or the Emcold South DGeorgia Emground
