Three fortnights ago I went a-sailing Bound 'cross the ocean with the tide I signed on this ship that's gone a-whaling Leaving my highland home and bride We cleared away the boats here for the first time Three miles off the coast of Labrador They say that these first days are the worst time Three years till I'll once again see shore Now it's all hands up the rigging As she leans onto her rail On deck the watchbell's ringing As the daylight slowly pale So here's to the lands we left behind us Here's to the loves we left alone Here's to the letters that remind us Of the day when we sail again for home The lookout says we're coming on to weather An early blast of winter's blowing in So it's oilskins and boots of highland leather Braces set and lean into the wind Then it's southward we'll roll on through September Where the finback and the sperm are not so few We'll haul 'round the Horn by late December And search for the great Pacific Blue Now there's ice hangs from the rigging And the wind tears through her sails You can hear the mate's voice ringing Through this North Atlantic gale So here's to the lands we left behind us Here's to the loves we left alone Here's to the letters that remind us Of the day when we sail again for home
