I come from an island, an islanders ways
Breakers and quakers and few of us stray
Hunting the oceans with men that won't tire
Nantucket sleigh rides and chimney's afire
Some may be weary and won't understand
Trading a spear for a flag in a hand
A jetsam that _, some shipping out east
Out to go hunting a different beast
Fireflies from the long nines
_ handlers run about
The captain says we'll hover
As though there was some doubt
And as we blow on the matches
And raise to take thе _
My mind is in Nantucket
Hauling whale meat into dock
I'm not usеd to bracing, the weather so calm
Still making cheer when I hear the alarm
As iron and fire knock nails from the stern
The shores are no longer my biggest concern
Our skipper is canny, a draw kind of soul
He never sulked and he's still cracking jokes
Ah Mr Starbuck your aim is quite rare
Well I aims to sink her beyond disrepair
Fireflies from the long nines
_ handlers run about
The captain says we'll hover
As though there was some doubt
And as we blow on the matches
And raise to take the _
My mind is in Nantucket
Hauling whale meat into dock
History famous the boat and the brave
Conquer the mountains and weather the waves
Now I'm away with all liberty's sons
Off down the channel to stand by the guns
Fireflies from the long nines
_ handlers run about
The captain says we'll hover
As though there was some doubt
And as we blow on the matches
And raise to take the _
My mind is in Nantucket
Hauling whale meat into dock
