2i6 THE AMERICAN WHALEMAN 



One and all!" 



Our waist-boat got down, 



And of course she got the start: 



"Lay me on, Captain Bunker, 



I'm h — 1 for a long dart." 



Chorus 



Our first mate he struck, 

 And the whale he went down; 

 The captain he stood by 

 All ready for to bend on ; 

 Which caused the whale to vomit, 

 And the blood for to spout; 

 In less than ten minutes. 

 He rolled both fins out! 



Chorus
