Lyrics
I come from an island, an islanders ways Breakers and quakers and few of us stray Hunting the oceans with men that won't tire Nantucket sleigh rides and chimney's afire Some may be weary and won't understand Trading a spear for a flag in a hand A jetsam that _, some shipping out east Out to go hunting a different beast Fireflies from the long nines _ handlers run about The captain says we'll hover As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And raise to take thе _ My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock I'm not usеd to bracing, the weather so calm Still making cheer when I hear the alarm As iron and fire knock nails from the stern The shores are no longer my biggest concern Our skipper is canny, a draw kind of soul He never sulked and he's still cracking jokes Ah Mr Starbuck your aim is quite rare Well I aims to sink her beyond disrepair Fireflies from the long nines _ handlers run about The captain says we'll hover As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And raise to take the _ My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock History famous the boat and the brave Conquer the mountains and weather the waves Now I'm away with all liberty's sons Off down the channel to stand by the guns Fireflies from the long nines _ handlers run about The captain says we'll hover As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And raise to take the _ My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock
