The Bodleian has some ten broadsides (some duplicates), those with dating back to 1820. Here is one that varies somewhat from those in the DT or posted here.

GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY

In eighteen hundred and twenty-three,
On March the trenty-third.
We hoisted our colours up to our masthead,
And for Greenland bore away, brave boys,
And for Greenland bore away, brave boys.

But when we came unto Greenland,
Our good like ship to moor.
O then we wish'd ourselves back again,
With our friends upon the shore, brave boys,
With our etc.

The boatswain on the yard so high,
With his spyglass in his hand.
Here's a whale, here's a whale fish he cry'd,
And she blows at every spang, brave boys,
And she etc.

The captain on the quarter deck,
A very good man was he.
Over-haul, over-haul, your heavy tackle fall.
And launch your boats for sea, brave boys,
And launch etc.

The boats being launched and the hands got in,
And the whale fish appear'd in view,
Resolv'd was the whale boat's crew
To steer where the whale-fish blew, brave boys,
To steer etc.
The whale being struck, and the line paid out,
She gave a flash with her tail.
She capsiz'd the boar and we lost five men,
Nor did we catch the whale, brave boys,
Nor did etc.

Sad news, sad news, to our captain brought,
That we'd lost his 'prentice boys;
His hearing of this dreadful news,
His colours down did haul, brave boys,
His colours etc.

The losing of this whale, brave boys,
Did grieve his heart full sore.
But the losing of his five brave men,
Did grieve him ten times more, brave boys,
Did grieve etc.

Weigh anchor, weigh anchor, my brave jolly tars,
For the winter star I see.
It is time we should leave this cold country,
And for England bear away, brave boys,
And for England etc.

For Greenland is a barren place,
Neither light nor day to be seen.
Nothing but ice and snow where the whale-fish blow,
And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys,
And the daylight etc.
