A quick way through
that first harpoon,
Starbuck through another,
Ahab through a third,
And the boat capsized in the water.
And that great white whale
is the biggest I ever did see
And I pray to the Lord,
won't you save for me?
The sea gets to boilin'
and makin' a mournful sound
The Pequod was lost
and many a good man did drown
Black blood comes from that
white whale
What's that I see?
Ahab rides that whale's tail,
and when I woke up
