p.s. Just found the accompanying words from the Golden Ring album. The introduction reads, "Working on a whaling ship was not the most enviable type of employment. The voyages were long - sometimes several years - the work hard, not to mention dangerous. Numerous whaling ballads attest to these facts. Perhaps this song, being a whaling man's wish to be elsewhere, can be included in that list." Jack Stanesco led the men's chorus on the album.
