Excellent Folk Song from Newfoundland:
..."When Jack grew up to be a man, he fished in Labrador; He fished in Indian Harbor where his father fished before; On his returning in the fog, he met a heavy gale, And Jack was swept into the sea & swallowed by a whale.
Jack, was ev'ry inch a sailor, 5 & 20 years a whaler, Jack was ev'ry inch a sailor - he was born upon the bright blue sea.
The whale went straight for Baffin's Bay, about 90 knots an hour, And ev'ry time he blew a spray he'd send it in a shower. 'Oh, now, says Jack unto himself, I must SEE what he's about." He caught the whale, all by the tail & turned him inside out.
