Lyrics:
Fifty six I sailed aboard A ship called Byron One She's carried trawler men on deck And a harpoon whaling gun Chorus: Oh you trawlermen, come on Forget your snapper and your prawn For it's out of Ballina we'll sail Fishing for the humpback whale A tractor for a whale winch And the ship's an all fair mile Twin diesels turn the screws around She'll whale in a fine Aussie style [ chorus ] Keep a sharp look-out my lads The whale he's on the run And we'll drive him into Byron Bay And we'll shoot him with our gun [ chorus ] The harpoon and the line fly true Very deep into the whale She split the timbers of the ship With a flurry of her tail [ chorus ] The rugging struts are snapped in two We reel beneath the blow The gunner fires a killer shot And that humpback's sinks below Make the tail fast to the bows We got no more time for bed For four and twenty hours each day We kept that factory fed [ chorus ] A hundred whales and then fifty more Through the factory we did send And then the orders came - knock off me lads Your season's at an end [ chorus ]
