Intro:
Verse 1:
Sun breaks over the sprits'l yard,
Jib sheet's haulin' to lee-ward hard.
Crosstree's hummin' a mornin' hymn,
I'm the cabin boy; call me Jim. (His name's Jim).
Chorus 1:
Fare away, fare away, under main topsail,
To the fur-be-low of the wily wha...le.
Verse 2:
Captain's stalking the quarter-deck,
Tells the tail of his first ship-wreck.
Castaway with a case of rum,
Hoped that rescue would never come.
(Never come).
Chorus 2:
Fare away, fare away, under main topsail,
To the fur-be-low of the wily whale.
To the fur-be-low of the wi-ly, wi-ly...

Verse 3:
First mate Adam's a hardened man,
Says the captain's a charla-tan.
Don't know tackle from futtock plates,
He'll sail us into the Pear...ly Gates.
Chorus 3:
Fare away, fare away, under main topsail,
To the fur-be-low of the wily wha...le.
Verse 4:
I been sailin' these seven seas,
Since I's nigh high to a mermaid's knees.
Come next April I'm sixty-three,
/
I can't ad-vance! (I like short pants!)
Safe in the cabin on the o-pen sea.
Chorus 4:
Fare away, fare away, under main topsail,
To the fur-be-low of the wily whale.
To the fur-be-low of the wily, wi-ly wha...le.
