So a voyage to Greenland we will go,
Some money for to get—brave boys.
Now when we lay at Liverpool,
Our good-like ship to man,
'Twas there our names were all wrote down,
And were bound for Greenland—brave boys.
In eighteen hundred and twenty-four,
On March the twenty-third,
We hoisted our colours up to our mast-head,
And for Greenland bore away—brave boys.
