[VERSE 1:]
                        F          
Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu 
  C
Mormond Hill
                                F  
And the dear land of Crimond, I bid
        C
 ye farewell
                   Em            
I am bound out for Greenland and 
Am       C
ready to sail
                          F      
In hopes to find riches a-hunting 
     C
the whale


[VERSE 2:]
Oh, adieu to my comrades, for a 
F             C
while we must part
And likewise the dear lass that 
F            C
first won my heart
                    Em           
Oh, the cold ice of Greenland my 
Am            C
love will not chill
Continúa después del anuncio
And the longer my absence, more 
F             C       F  C
loving she'll feel


[VERSE 3:]
Our ship is well rigged and she's 
F        C
ready to sail
                             F     
Our crew they are anxious to follow
     C
 the whale
                      Em           
Where the icebergs do float and the
 Am           C
 stormy winds blow
Where the land and the ocean are 
F            C
covered with snow


[VERSE 4:]
The cold coasts of Greenland are 
F          C
barren and bare
                            F   
No seed-time nor harvest is ever 
       C
known there
                           Em      
Though the birds here sing sweetly 
   Am           C
on mountain and dale
There is no bird in Greenland to 
F           C
sing to the whale

[VERSE 5:]
                             F     
There is no habitation for a man to
      C
 live there
And the king of that country is the 
F                C
fierce Greenland bear
                     Em        Am 
There will be no temptation to 
        C
tarry long there
With our ship bumper full, we will 
F          C
homeward repair
