Lyrics:

Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill,
To the green land o' Crimond, I'll bid ye farewell.
I'm bound out for Greeland get ready to sail,
In hopes to find riches a-hunting the whale.

Our ship is well rigged, she's ready to sail,
And the crew all are anxious to follow the whale;
Where the icebergs do float and the stormy winds blow,
And the land and the ocean is covered in snow.

Farewell to my comrades, from you I must part,
Likewise my dear darlings, you fair won my heart;
But the cold ice of Greenland will not my heart chill,
And the longer my absence, more loving you'll feel.

This cold land of Greenland is barren and bare,
No seed-time nor harvest is ever known there;
The birds here sing sweetly o'er mountain and dale,
But there is not a bird here to sing to whale.

I do not own the rights to this song, I just love Irish and Scotish music so I thought I could share some beautiful songs that I like with other users.
