Again For Greenland

A blowing breeze came from the south,
 All sails all seemed asleep;
 Three cheers more, we leave the shore,
 And float upon the deep.
 We leave our sweethearts and our wives,
 All weeping on the pier;
 Cheer up my dears, we'll soon return,
 'Tis only half a year.
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound,
 To leave you all behind;
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound.
 In tarry dress we'll reach Dromnes,
 We then shall go on shore;
 With water less and landsmen's scarce,
 We soon shall take in more.
 And now we've safely reached the ice,
 We soon shall crown our sail;
 Each boat will land with a strong hand,
 For to pursue the whale.
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound,
 To leave you all behind;
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound.
 How dark and dreary grows the night,
 The stars begin to burn;
 A valiant crew, with hearts all true,
 For ship we do return.
 And now we've passed the Orkney Isles,
 The pilot boat draws near;
 We see our sweethearts and our wives,
 All waiting on the pier.
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound,
 To leave you all behind;
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound.
 And now in harbor safely moored,
 We next shall go on shore;
 With plenty o' brass and a bonny lass,
 We'll make a tavern roar.
 To Greenland's frost we'll drink a toast,
 And those we love so dear;
 And across the main to it again,
 We'll take a trip next year.
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound,
 To leave you all behind;
 Again, for Greenland,
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound,
 To leave you all behind;
 Again, for Greenland,
 Again, for Greenland,
 Again, for Greenland, we are bound.
