Burl Ives - Paddy and the Whale Chorus: Caterwaulin', tarpaulin Harpoonin' and all Paddy Maloney left Ireland in glee He had a strange notion to sail the Ross Sea He shipped in a whalecatcher South Georgia bound And the way that she pitched made his head go around Paddy had never been whaling before It made his heart leap when he heard the loud roar The lookout he cried that a whale he had spied Begod, says poor Pat, I'll be ate by and by Now Paddy run for'ard and reached for the mast He caught it a gripper and there he held fast The boat gave a tip and poor Pat lost his grip And into the whale's belly the silly fool slipped He was in that whale's belly six months and a day Till one morning by luck to its throat he made way The whale gave a hoosh, boys, and then she did blow And a mile in the air went old Paddy Maloney Paddy got spat out quite safe on the shore He swears that he'll not go to sea any more And the next time he follows a venturesome notion It'll be when the railway runs over the ocean
