Great Big Sea - Old Polina lyrics
(Trad) There's a noble fleet o' whalers sailin' from Dundee men by British sailors to take them o'er the sea on a western ocean passage we started on the trip we flew along just like a song on a galleon whalin' ship Twas the second Sunday morning just after leaving port we met a heavy south-west gale that washed away our boat it washed away our quarter deck our 'stensions just as well and so we sent the whole she-bang a floatin in the gale Chorus: For the wind was on her quarter the engine's workin free there's not another whaler that sails the arctic sea can beat the old polina if yee not try my sons we challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St. john's Our jackman set his canvas for Willard gallop stein and captain Guy the daring by' came plungin' through the stream and Mullins' in the husky tried to beat the bloody lot but to beat the Old Polina boys was something he could not Chorus There's the noble terra nova a model without doubt the arctic and aurora they talk so much about our jackman's model nailboat the terror of the sea try to beat the old polina on a passage from Dundee Chorus Now we're back in old st. john's where rum is very cheap we'll drink a health to captain guy who brought us o'er the deep a health to all our sweethearts and to our wives so fair not another ship could make the trip, the Polina I declare!
