Oh, my Donald, he works upon the sea
N.C.
On the waves that blow wild and free
N.C.
He splices the ropes and he sets the sails
N.C.
While southwards he roves to the home of the whale
(Verse 2)
And he [C]ne'er thinks of [G]me far be[D]hind
Nor the [Am]torments that [G]rage in my [C]mind
He is [D]mine for [Em]only a [C]part of the [D]year
And I'm [Am]left all alone with [D]only my tears
(Verse 3)
Oh, ye [C]ladies that [G]smell of wild [D]rose
Think ye [Am]for your [G]perfume to where a man [C]goes
Think [D]ye of the [Em]wives and the [C]babies that [D]yearn
For a [Am]man ne'er returned from [D]hunting the sperm
(Verse 4)
