• The Wanderer And The Whale

As we set sail for Puffin Bay
On a wild and stormy sea
I spied the biggest whale, me boys
That ever you’ve had seen.

Chorus
And indeed, me lads, it’s true, me lads!
I never was known to lie.
And if you had sailed on the Wanderer
You’d have seen him the same as I.

This wonderful old whale, Sir
Was playful as a goat.
He swallowed the captain and the boatswain, too
And all of our whaling boats.

Chorus

One night was cold and damp, Sir
The wind was blowing keen
He borrowed my old oilskin
And took my turn at the wheel.

Chorus

Well the man who speared this whale, Sir
Was up to his kneels in blood.
And the boy who told the tale, Sir
Was carried away in the flood.

Chorus

This singers of this song, boys
Are roving Irishmen.
If you buy us all a pint of rum
We’ll sing it all again.
