The 'title' & band that performed a song many years ago about a 'Captan & his

I have always thought this song to be known as 'The Whale' or 'The Whale Song' - but am still unsure of it's actual title AND who sang it.

From memory, some of the lyrics were "...so bend your backs and row my lads and take me to my whale, tonight we'll sing %26amp; dance and tomorrow night we'll sail - we'll sail into the harbour, no prouder men there'll be - and show them all we've captured the 'monster' from the sea..."

Gratitude to whomever might 'seek %26amp; find' - especially the SINGERS of the song.

The Whale

Artist: Pirate Pete? is that you??? LOL

We sailed from port one morning when the weather it was fair

A gentle breeze it blew then and no one gave a care

They sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up the keg

We're out to catch the monster whale that took the Captains leg

The Captain says "A piece of gold for he who sees me whale"

"So bend yer backs and row me lads I know that you won't fail

And bend yer backs and row me lads and take me to me whale

Tonight we'll sing and dance, tomorrow night we'll sail

We'll sail into the harbour and no prouder men there'll be

And show them all we captured the monster from the sea

They saw the whale one morning when the weather it was fair

The men were white as ghosts but the Captain didn't care

I'll take the whale meself he says the weak can stay behind

The strong can share my glory and tonight they share me wine

The whale it came so close it was bigger than the sky

We lowered down the longboats and the Captain gave a cry

So bend yer backs and row me lads and take me to me whale

Tonight we'll sing and dance, tomorrow night we'll sail

We'll sail into the harbour and no prouder men there'll be

And show them all we captured the monster from the sea

di di di di di di di di

The whale it came so close it almost tipped the boat

The Captain raised his spear and rammed it downed its throat

The whale it gave a mournful cry and lifted its great tale

And brought it down acrashing hit their boat worse than a gale

A hundred years have past since the Captain and his men

Went below to spend their days in Davey Jones' Den

The whale it goes on living but inside it wears a scar

And if yer ever near that place a voice calls from afar

So bend yer backs and row me lads and take me to me whale

Tonight we'll sing and dance, tomorrow night we'll sail

We'll sail into the harbour and no prouder men there'll be

And show them all we captured the monster from the sea
