Bullgine Run Lyrics

Well, the smartest skipper you could find
Heave away, haul away
The Margaret Evans on the Black Ball Line
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Tell me now, are you almost done?
Heave away, haul away
Every day we′re closer to home
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Well, tell me now, are you bound to go?
Heave away, haul away
Off to Greenland where there's ice and snow
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Tell me now, are you bound to sail?
Heave away, haul away
Off to Greenland to catch the whale
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Well, I thought I heard my captain say
Heave away, haul away
Another week, we′ll get more pay
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Tell me now, are you almost done?
Heave away, haul away
Every day we're closer to home
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run

Well, the smartest skipper you could find
Heave away, haul away
The Margaret Evans on the Black Ball Line
Clear away the track and let the bull gine run
