ROLLING DOWN TO OLD MOHEE



Once more we are waft by the Northern gales

Bounding over the main,

And now the hills of the tropic isles

We soon shall see again.

Five sluggish moons have waxed and waned

Since from the shore sailed we,

Now we are bound from the Arctic ground

Rolling down to old Mohee.

Now we are bound from the Arctic ground

Rolling down to old Mohee.



Through many a blow of frost and snow

And bitter squalls of hail,

Our spars were bent and our canvas rent

As we braved the northern gale.

The horrid isles of ice cut tiles

That deck the Arctic sea,

Are many, many leagues astern

As we sail to old Mohee.



Through many a gale of snow and hail

Our good ship bore away

And in the midst of the moonbeam's kiss

We slept in St. Lawrence Bay.

And many a day we whiled away

In the bold Kamchatka Sea

And we'll think of that as we laugh and chat

With the girls of old Mohee.



An ample share of toil and care

We whalemen undergo;

But when it's over, what care we

How the bitter blast may blow.

We are homeward bound, that joyful sound,

And yet it may not be,

But we'll think of that as we laugh and chat

With the Girls of old Mohee.

From Gale Huntington's book- Songs the Whalemen Sang. Collected

from logbook of Ship Atkins Adams 1858. Huntington says that the

tune comes from Harlow- Chanteying Aboard American Ships; also

thinks he heard it sung to tune of "The Bowery", but isn't sure.

As he points out,"This is a nice song."
