FAREWELL TO TARWATHIE By George Scroggie Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill And the dear land o' Crimond, I'll bid you fareweel I'm bound out for Greenland and ready to sail In hopes to find riches in hunting the whale Adieu to my comrades, for awhile we must part And likewise the dear lass that fair won my heart The cold ice of Greenland, my love will not chill And the longer my absence, more loving she'll feel Our ship is well rigged and she's ready to sail Our crew, they are anxious to follow the whale Where the icebergs do float and the stormy winds blow Where the land and the ocean are covered with show The cold coast of Greenland is barren and bare No seed time nor harvest is ever known there And the birds here sing sweetly on mountain and dale But there isn't a birdie to sing tae the whale There is no habitation for a man to live there And the king of that country is the fierce Greenland bear And there will be no temptation to tarry long there Wi' our ship bumper full, we will homeward repair @Scottish @parting @animal @travel recorded by July Collins on Whales and Nightingales filename[ TARWATHI TUNE FILE: TARWATHI CLICK TO PLAY SOF |
