[00:07.84] Oh, our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
[00:14.31] She's already rigged to be bound for the ice
[00:20.04] All you lads of the Southern we will have you to beware
[00:30.12] She is going to the ice in the Spring of the year
[00:34.71] Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[00:38.66]
[00:44.95] Our course be east-north-east for two days and two nights;
[00:49.23] Our captain he cried out 'Boys, look ahead for the ice!'
[00:52.93] And we hove her about standing in for the land
[00:57.64] And 'twas in a few hours we were firm in the jam
[01:01.31] Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[01:05.27]
[01:07.99] Oh our captain he cried out, 'Come on, boys, and bear a hand!'
[01:11.91] Our cook he gets the breakfast and each man takes a dram
[01:15.47] With their hats in their hands it was earlye for to go
[01:20.19] Every man showed his action 'thout the missing of a blow
[01:24.11] Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[01:28.03]
[01:30.93] Some were killing some were scalping, some were hauling on board
[01:34.66] And some more they were firing and a-missing of their loads
[01:38.47] In the dusk of the evening all hands in from the cold
[01:43.16] And we counted nine hundred fine scalps in the hold
[01:51.40]
[02:17.67] We are now off Cape Spear and in sight of Cape Broyle:
[02:21.32] We will dance, sing, carouse, my boys, in just a little while
[02:25.12] We will soon enjoy the charms of our sweethearts and friends
[02:28.82] For it will not be long before we're down to the bend
[02:32.64] Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[02:36.66]
[02:39.28] Oh, our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
[02:43.30] She's already rigged to be bound for the ice
[02:46.89] All you lads of the Southern we will have you to beware
[02:58.72] She is going to the ice in the Spring of the year
[03:03.66] Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[03:07.37] Fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[03:09.98] Fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day
[03:13.14]
