In fifty-six I sailed on board
On a ship called Byron I
She carried trawler men on deck
And a harpoon whaling gun
Chorus (after each verse):
All you trawler men, come on
Forget your snapper and your prawn
For it's out of Ballina we'll sail
Fishing for the humpback whale
A tractor for a whale winch
And the ship's an old Fairmile
Twin diesels turn the screws around
She'll whale in a fine old style
Keep a sharp look-out me lads
The whale he's on the run
And we'll drive him into Byron Bay
And we'll shoot him with our guns
The harpoon and the line fly through
Very deep into the whale
She split the timbers of the ship
With the flurry of her tail
The rigging struts are snapped in two
And we reel beneath the blow
The gunner fires a killer shot
And the humpback sank below
Make her tail fast to the bows
We've got no time for bed
For four and twenty hours each day
We kept that factory fed
Back into Ballina we steered
Tied up and stowed the gear
All hands headed for the pub
And we filled ourselves with beer
