[Verse]
A Em A Black twenty-ninth, nineteen-ten Em B7 The little brig, Daisy, did sail Em D G The morning was clear and the sea was down Am Em And we raised a great pod of whale
[Verse]
A Em A The captain had three of the boats lowered down Em B7 And in them the mates they did go Em D G There was Mister Da Lomba and Mister Alves Am Em And Mister Eneos also
[Chorus]
G F G Clew up your royals and tops'ls F G Haul your heads'ls down Em Am For you'll never see the whale no more Em D Em Or the cold South Georgia ground
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A Em A The whales did rise a mile from the ship Em B7 And the other two mates made their kill Em D G But Mister Eneos was caught in the pod Am Em Where the whales were lying still
[Verse]
A Em A Mister Eneos stood still in the bow Em B7 He had his lance in his hand Em D G But the whale he had harpooned would not break away Am Em And would neither sound nor run
[Bridge]
G F G It struck at the boat and it lifted her high F G And the men fell out over the stern Em Am We saw the flukes come a-thrashing down Em D Em Where Mister Eneos had been
[Instrumental]

A Em A The captain had the stern boat lowered away Em B7 And we searched where the whales did sound Em D G Five men we gathered from out the sea Am Em But Mister Eneos was gone
[Instrumental]
Em D6 Am Em
[Chorus]
G F G Clew up your royals and tops'ls F G Haul your heads'ls down Em Am For you'll never see the whale no more Em D Em Or the cold South Georgia ground
