. CAPTAIN BUNKER .

« Our captain stood upon the deck,

A spyglass in his hand,

A viewing of those gallant whales

That blowed at very strand.

Get your tubs in your boats, my boys,

And by your braces stand,

And we'll have one of those whales,

Hand, boys, over hand !

Chorus. So be cherry, my lads ! Let your hearts never fail

While the bold harpooneer is a striking of the whale !

'' 'Overhaul, overhaul !

Your davit-tackles fall,

Till youland your boat in the sea

One and all!'

Our waist-boat got down,

And of course she got the start :

'Lay me on, Captain Bunker,

I'm h—l for a long dart !'

So be cherry, &c.

'Our first mate he struck,

And the whale he went down ;

The captain he stood by

All ready for to bend on ;

Which caused the whale to vomic,

And the blood for to spout :

I less than ten minutes

He rolled both fins out !

So be cherry, &c.''
