I am a long mariner Skin, bones, strength low I am a fair sailor Strength weak but spirits a go (Bless my, bless my soul) Taking off for the lee shore In search of the big one An intrepid effort of the soul Doing battle when the storms and raging seas come I'm gonna leave it to the fates, to the to the fates Three goddesses control human destiny and life One spins the thread of life, one determines its length One cuts it off, it stops It stops Diving into the howling infinite, sadly dashing upon the lee When I push myself I feel prouder I can scream just a little louder This is what I chose for my life's work It's the wild whaling life for me Headwinds are far more common Than winds from astern, tale winds blow But mostly Euroclydon blows Like the Bible told Startled by the cry so plaintively wild that great mass of death That great mass of death floats on and on, signs and wonders Sinking down deep and deep, infinite deep so deep deep deep deep When I push myself I feel prouder I can scream just a little louder I'll be floppin' around on the open sea It's the wild whaling life for me A mystical, mystic ocean at my feet I slot a barrel stave when singing a Mordant stave of psalmody Psalmody, singing to the sea I'll be long gone for a year or three So much more of the world to see No comfort zone for me It's the wild whaling life Lookin', trollin', lookin', rollin', hookin' For the leviathan For the leviathan
