Nantucket Meaning
| [[Verse 1] I come from an island, an islander’s 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 wary and won’t understand Trading a spear for a flag in the hand A’jetsam the try pots, I’m shipping out east Off to go hunting a different beast [Chorus] Fire flies from the long nines Shot-handlers run about The captain says we’ll hull ‘er As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And brace to take thе shock My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock [Verse 2] I’m not usеd to bracing in weather so calm Still making cheer when I hear the alarm As iron and fire knock nails from the stern The shoals are no longer my biggest concern Our skipper is canny, a droll 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!” , [Chorus] Fire flies from the long nines Shot-handlers run about The captain says we’ll hull ‘er As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And brace to take the shock My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock [Bridge] History favours the bold 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 [Chorus] Fire flies from the long nines Shot-handlers run about The captain says we’ll hull ‘er As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And brace to take the shock My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock , Fire flies from the long nines Shot-handlers run about The captain says we’ll hull ‘er As though there was some doubt And as we blow on the matches And brace to take the shock My mind is in Nantucket Hauling whale meat into dock] |
