"Overhaul, overhaul, your boat tackle-fall,
And launch your boats to sea—brave boys."
The boats being launch'd and the hands got in,
The whale fishes appeared in view,
Resolved was the whole boat's crew
To steer where the whale fish blew—brave boys.
The whale being struck and the line paid on,
She gave a flash with her tail,
She capsized the boat and lost five men,
Nor did we catch the whale—brave boys.
