"Queensland Whalers"

-Eric Bogle

I`ve sailed the North Atlantic with ice flows in the breeze

I`ve sailed the Dutch East Indies o`er the calm blue sunny seas

When I think of missing seamen me heart returns again

To a season spent in Moretan Bay with Queensland Whaling Men.

Yo-ho you Queensland Whalers, you`ve cut the sugar cane

You`ve driven herds of cattle o`er the dry and dusty plain

You`ve dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail

And now you`ve come to Moreton Bay to catch a Humpback Whale

To men who`ve chased the brumbies, caught bullocks by the tail

It really is no problem to catch a humpback whale

You steer your iron sea-horse, poke your gun through the rigging struts

And when she runs through the coral scrub, you belt her in the guts

Yo-ho you Queensland Whalers, you`ve cut the sugar cane

You`ve driven herds of cattle o`er the dry and dusty plain

You`ve dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail

And now you`ve come to Moreton Bay to catch a Humpback Whale

Now men up in the crows nest, so whaling legends go

When they spy a humpback whale they yell out "Thar She Blows!"

But here in sunny Queensland you`ll often hear them shout

"There goes a bloody beauty mate, so get yer finger out!"

Yo-ho you Queensland Whalers, you`ve cut the sugar cane

You`ve driven herds of cattle o`er the dry and dusty plain

You`ve dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail

And now you`ve come to Moreton Bay to catch a Humpback Whale

From Moreton to Caloundra, bronze whaler sharks abound

They wait like dingoes in the scrub for a wounded beast that`s down

But but for all their bloody savagery, well they just can`t compare

With the big bite that the tax man takes when he gets hold of your share!

Yo-ho you Queensland Whalers, you`ve cut the sugar cane

You`ve driven herds of cattle o`er the dry and dusty plain

You`ve dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail

And now you`ve come to Moreton Bay to catch a Humpback Whale

And when the season`s over, we`ll head for Brisbane Town

And in the nearest boozer our sorrows we will drown

With beer and firey whiskey and when we`ve had enough

We`ll steer a steady zig zag course and never give a stuff!

Yo-ho you Queensland Whalers, you`ve cut the sugar cane

You`ve driven herds of cattle o`er the dry and dusty plain

You`ve dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail

And now you`ve come to Moreton Bay to catch a Humpback Whale
