Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Sign boys, aboard boys
We’re heading out to sea
With riches for the taking
In the whaler Runnymede

 

Look boys, we’ll find boys
The monsters of the deep
Six months we’ve had of searching
In the good ship Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Toil boys, fight on boys
No home till we succeed
Nine months we’ve had of hunting
In the creaking Runnymede

 

Hunger boys, starve boys
The captain's cut our feed
Twelve months we’ve had without a whale
On the bloody Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Shiver boys, freeze boys
No clean trews will we see
Captain’s locked the clothing chest
On the stinking Runnymede

 

Shout boys hurrah boys
It’s Hobart Town we see
Not one whale did we catch
Upon the lousy Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede

 

Shout boys, hurrah boys
We welcome it - Godspeed
We’ve had 18 months starvation
In the lousy Runnymede
