Taken from a battered ex-rental VHS tape, this is the song from about three-quarters of the way through the TV movie "A Whale For The Killing". Sung by Denny Brooks and with lyrics by Lionel Chetwynd, it skirts dangerously close to sounding like a folk song parody, but it just about gets away with it.
Sorry about the video being black-and-white; that's down to a problem with my VHS deck. The occasional audio dropouts are due to the age of the tape.

thanks for posting this. to me it's actually subtle in that the lyrics alone could be taken as glorifying the whalers, without hearing the heavy sarcasm of the singer. is this original music?

@shortpuppy AFAIK it was written specifically for the movie, but is intended to sound like a traditional folk song.
