(Intro:) Am
AmWe are two mariners, our ships' sole survivors In this belly of a Ewhale
Its ribs our ceiling beams, its guts our carpeting
I guess we have some time to Amkill You may not remember me, I was a child of three And you a lad of eighEteen
But I remember you and I will relate to you
How our histories interAmweave FAt the time you were a rake and a roustaAmbout FSpending all your money on the whores and Ehounds, FohE
AmYou had a charming air, all cheap and debonair My widowed mother found so Esweet
And so she took you in, her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul diAmsease As Ftime wore on you proved a dead-ridden drunken Ammess FLeaving my mother a poor consumptive Ewretch, FohE
AmAnd then you dissapeared, your gambling arrears The only thing you left Ebehind
And then the magistrate reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her Ammind FThen one day in spring my dear sweet mother Amdied But beFfore she did I took her hand as she dying Ecried, FohE
&Dmquot;Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break his AmFingers to splinters
Throw him to a hole until he
DmWakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his Egrave&qFuoEt;
Am G Am G Am G Am
AmIt took me fifteen years to swallow all my tears Among the urchins in the Estreet
Until a priory took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and Amneat But Fnever once in the employ of these holy Ammen Did FI ever once stir my mind from the thought of reEvenge, FohE
AmOne night I overheard the prior exhanging words With a penitent whaler from the Esea
The captain of his ship who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelAmty The Ffollowing day I shipped to sea with a privaAmteer And Fin the whistle of the wind I could almost Ehear, FohE
&Dmquot;Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break his AmFingers to splinters
Throw him to a hole until he
DmWakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his Egrave F E
CThere is one thing I must Gsay to you CAs you sail across the Gsea AmAlways your mother will watch Emover you FAs you avenge this wicked Edeed"

AmAnd then that fateful night we had you in our sight After twenty months at Esea
Your starboard flank a beam, I was getting my muskets clean
when came this rumbling from Ambeneath The Focean stirred the sky went black and the captain Amquailed And Fbefore us grew the angry jaws of a giant Ewhale, FohE
AmDon't know how I survived, the crew all was chewed alive I must have slipped between his Eteeth
But oh what providence, what divine intelligence
That you should survive as well as Amme It Fgives my heart great joy to see your eyes fill with Amfear So Flean in close and I will whisper the last words you'll Ehear, FohE
