mátyás seiber - the famous tay whale lyrics
’twas in the month of december, and in the year 1883
that a monster whale came to dundee
resolved for a few days to sport and play
and devour the small fishes in the silvery tay
so the monster whale did sport and play
among the innocent little fishes in the beautiful tay
until he was seen by some men one day
and they resolved to catch him without delay
when it came to be known a whale was seen in the tay
some men began to talk and to say
wе must try and catch this monster of a whale
so come on, bravе boys, and never say fail
then the people together in crowds did run
resolved to capture the whale and to have some fun!
so small boats were launched on the silvery tay
while the monster of the deep did sport and play
oh! it was a most fearful and beautiful sight
to see it lashing the water with its tail all its might
and making the water ascend like a shower of hail
with one lash of its ugly and mighty tail
then the water did descend on the men in the boats
which wet their trousers and also their coats;
but it only made them the more determined to catch the whale
but the whale shook at them his tail
then the whale began to puff and to blow
while the men and the boats after him did go
armed well with harpoons for the fray
which they fired at him without dismay
and they laughed and grinned just like wild baboons
while they fired at him their sharp harpoons:
but when struck with,the harpoons he dived below
which filled his pursuers’ hearts with woe
because they guessed they had lost a prize
which caused the tears to well up in their eyes;
and in that their antic_p_tions were only right
because he sped on to stonehaven with all his might:
and was first seen by the crew of a gourdon fishing boat
which they thought was a big coble upturned afloat;
but when they drew near they saw it was a whale
so they resolved to tow it ashore without fail
so they got a rope from each boat tied round his tail
and landed their burden at stonehaven without fail;
and when the people saw it their voices they did raise
declaring that the brave fishermen deserved great praise
and my opinion is that god sent the whale in time of need
no matter what other people may think or what is their creed;
i know fishermen in general are often very poor
and god in his goodness sent it drive poverty from their door
so mr john wood has bought it for two hundred and twenty_six pound
and has brought it to dundee all safe and all sound;
which measures 40 feet in length from the snout to the tail
so i advise the people far and near to see it without fail
then hurrah! for the mighty monster whale
which has got 17 feet 4 inches from tip to tip of a tail!
which can be seen for a sixpence or a shilling
that is to say, if the people all are willing
