Align:    
  • CHORUS:
  • Our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
  • She is already rigged to be bound for the ice
  • All you lads of the Southern, we will have you to beware.
  • She's going to the ice in the spring of the year
  • Laddie whack fol the laddie, laddie whack fol the day.
  • Our course be east-north-east for two days and two nights.
  • Our captain he cried out, "B'ys, look ahead for the ice!"
  • He hove her around, standing in for the land,
  • 'Twas in a few hours he was firm in the jam.
  • Laddie whack fol the laddie, laddie whack fol the day.
  • Our captain he cried out, "Come on b'ys, lend a hand"
  • Our cook he makes the breakfast and each man takes a dram.
  • With our gaffs in our hands it was earlie for to go,
  • Every man showed his action 'thout the missing of a blow.
  • Laddie whack fol the laddie, laddie whack fol the day.
  • Some were killing, some were scalping, some were haulin' them on board.
  • Some more they were firing and a-missing of their loads.
  • In the dusk of the evening all hands in from the cold,
  • And we counted nine hundred fine scalps in the hold.
  • We are now off Cape Spear and in sight of Cape Broyle,
  • We'll dance, sing, carouse, me b'ys in just a little while.
  • We will soon enjoy the charms of our sweethearts and our friends,
  • It will not be long before we're down to the bend.
  • Laddie whack fol the laddie, laddie whack fol the day.
  • CHORUS
  • Fol the laddie, laddie whack fol the day (x2)
