Fiddler's Green - Old Polina lyrics with translation (on click)

Old Polina - Fiddler's Green

Lyrics

words to study

There's a noble fleet of whalers, they're sailing from Dundee

Manned by British sailors that 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 gallant whaling ship.

Was the second Sunday morning, just after leaving port,

We met a heavy sou'west gale and washed away our boat

It washed away our quarterdeck, our stanchions just as well,

And so we set the whole shabang a floatin' in the gale.

For the wind was on our quarter, the engines working free

There's not another whaler that sails the Arctic Sea

Can't beat the old Polina, you need not try my sons,

We challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St John's.

Art Jackman set his canvas, Fair Weather galloped steam

But Captain Guy the daring boy came plunging through the stream

And Mullins in the Husky tried to beat the bloody lot

But to beat the Old Polina was something he could not.
