One of the best of the Folk era groups...They were liberal leftist in message, however the music was universal. They had many hit records and continued to tour for many years into the modern era. The recent death of Mary has ended the group, but their music will remain as their legacy.

(Intro)
G D Am G
When the whale gets strike and the line runs out
C Am D
And the whale makes a flounder with its tail
G C Am D
And the boat cap-sized and I lost my darlin' man
G C Am C D
No more, no more Green-land for you, brave boys
G C Am G
No more, no more Green-land for you
(Main Song)
G C G Am D
'Twas in eighteen hundred and fifty-three, on June the thirteenth day,
G Am C D
That our gallant ship, her anchor weighed,
G Am D
And for Greenland sailed away, brave boys,
G C (D) G
and for Greenland sail-ed a-way.
G C G Am D
The lookout on the cross tree stood, with a spyglass in his hand,
G Am C D
"There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whalefish," he cried,
G Am D
And she blows at every span, brave boys,
G C (D) G
She blows at ev-ery span.
G C G
Well we struck that whale and the line played out
Am D
But she gave a flounder with her tail
G Am C D
And the boat capsized and four men were drowned
G Am D
And we never caught that whale
G C (D) G
We never caught that whale
G C G
Oh, to lose that whale, my captain cried
Am D
It grieves my heart full sore
G Am C D
But to lose four of my gallant men
G Am D
It grieves me ten times more, brave boys
G C (D) G
It grieves me ten times more
G C G
Oh, Greenland is a dreadful place
Am D
It's a land that's never green
G Am C D
Where there's ice and snow and the whale fishes blow
G Am D
And daylight's seldom seen, brave boys
G C (D) G
And daylight's sel-dom seen
(Outro)
G D Am G
When the whale get strike and the line runs out
C Am D
And the whale makes a flounder with its tail
G D Am G
When the whale gets strike and the line runs out
C Am D
And the whale makes a flounder with its tail
G C Am D
And the boat cap-sized and I lost my darlin' man
G C Am C D
No more, no more Green-land for you, brave boys
G C Am G
No more, no more Green-land for you
