Date: Sun, 30 Nov 1997 20:40:44 +0000From: Chris Hutson Subject: CRD: The Coast of Peru by Traditional Here`s an old sea shanty which I learned off of a tape entitled"Steady as she Goes." It`s a song about harpooning a whale, but I don`tcondone that sort of thing, so please don`t flame me. Enjoy.THE COAST OF PERU (traditional) Dm FCome all ye young fellows that`s bound after sperm Dm CCome all ye young fellows that`s rounded the horn F COur captain has told us and I hope it`ll prove true F C FThere`s plenty of sperm whale on the coast of PeruWe have weathered the horn and are now on PeruWe are all of one mind and endeavour to doOur boats are all rigged and our mastheads all mannedOur rigging roped tight and our signals all plannedThe next morning at daybreak at about five o` clockthe man at the masthead cried, "yonder she spouts!""Where away does she lay?" and the answer from aloft:"Two points on our lead bow and about three miles off."Now it`s call up all hands and it`s be of good cheerPut your tubs in your boats, boys, keep your bow lines all clearNow bend to your oars and make your boat flyBut one thing we dread of, keep clear of his eyeNow the first mate he struck him and the whale he did soundAnd the captain pulled up and he tried to bend onBut the whale began to vomit and the blood for to spoutAnd in less than ten minutes, we had him thin outWell, we towed him alongside and with many a shoutWe soon cut him in and began to try outNow the whale is all tried, and likewise stowed downHe`s better to us, boys, than five hundred poundsHere`s a health to all whalermen, boys, drink it down doLikewise to the Bengal and all our ship`s crewAll you who want money, I would have you for to goOn the coast of Peru where the whale-fish do blowChris Hutson hadeslimo@worldnet.att.net "Prostitutes are a necessity: without them, men would assault respectablewomen in the streets.." -Napoleon Bonaparte
