[Verse]
Am                 Am
As we set sail for Dauphin Bay 

Am                Am
On a wild and stormy sea

Am              
I spied the biggest whale, me boys

G                   Am
That ever you’ve had seen.
[Chorus]
    C                 G
And indeed, my lads, it’s true, my lads!

                    Am
I (never was known to lie.

Am                        Am
And if you had sailed on the Wanderer
c Am You’d have seen him the same as I. [Verse]
     Am                Am
This wonderful old whale, Sir

   Am          Am
Was playful as a goat.

   Am                       Am
He swallowed the captain and the boatswain, too

    G                         Am
And one of our whaling boats.
[Chorus]
    Am              Am
The wind was blowing cold, Sir

    Am             Am
The wind was blowing keen

   Am          Am
He borrowed my old oilskin

    G                  Am
And took my turn at the wheel.
[Chorus]
        Am                 Am
Well the man who speared this whale, Sir

    Am               Am
Was up to his kneels in blood.

       Am            Am
And the boy who told the tale, Sir

    G                  Am
Was carried away in the flood.
[Chorus]
     Am                 Am
This singer of this song, boys

    Am        Am
Is a roving Prairie men.

     Am       Am
If you buy me a pint of rum

     G          Am
I'll sing it all again.
