FAREWELL TO TARWATHIE
Fare D well tae Tarwathie, a G dieu Mormond D Hill
And the fair land of Crimond, I’ll G think of you D still
I'm bound out for Bm Greenland and A ready to D sail
In the hopes to find riches in G hunting the D whale
A D dieu to my comrades, for a G while we must D part
And likewise the dear lass who G first won my D heart
The cold coast of Bm Greenland my A love will not D chill
And the longer my absence, more G loving she'll D feel
Our D ship is well rigged and she's G ready to D sail
Our crew they are anxious to G follow the D whale
Where the icebergs do Bm float and the A stormy winds D blow
Where the land and the ocean are G covered in D snow
The D cold coast of Greenland is G barren and D bare
No seed-time nor harvest is G ever known D there
And the birds here sing Bm sweetly in A mountain and D dale
But there isn't a bird that can G sing to the D whale
There is D no habitation for a G man to live D there
And the king of that country is the G fierce Greenland D bear
And there'll be no temp Bm tation to A tarry long D there
With our ship bumper full we will G homeward re D pair.
