Alba s touto skladbou:
The Hard & The Easy,
(Trad)
Thereâs a noble fleet oâ whalers sailinâ from Dundee
men by British sailors to take them oâer the sea
on a western ocean passage we started on the trip
we flew along just like a song on a galleon whalinâ ship
Twas the second Sunday morning just after leaving port
we met a heavy south-west gale that washed away our boat
it washed away our quarter deck our âstensions just as well
and so we sent the whole she-bang a floatin in the gale
Chorus:
For the wind was on her quarter the engineâs workin free
thereâs not another whaler that sails the arctic sea
can beat the old polina if yee not try my sons
we challenged all both great and small from Dundee to St. johnâs
Our jackman set his canvas for Willard gallop stein
and captain Guy the daring byâ came plunginâ through the stream
and Mullinsâ in the husky tried to beat the bloody lot
but to beat the Old Polina boys was something he could not
Chorus
Thereâs the noble terra nova a model without doubt
the arctic and aurora they talk so much about
our jackmanâs model nailboat the terror of the sea
try to beat the old polina on a passage from Dundee
Chorus
Now weâre back in old st. johnâs where rum is very cheap
weâll drink a health to captain guy who brought us oâer the deep
a health to all our sweethearts and to our wives so fair
not another ship could make the trip, the Polina I declare!
