Farewell To Tarwathie Lyrics - Singles - Judy Collins

Farewell to Tarwathie 

Adieu Mormond Hill 

And the dear land of Crimmond 

I bid you farewell 

I'm bound off for Greenland 

And ready to sail 

In hopes to find riches 

In hunting the whale 

Farewell to my comrades 

For a while we must part 

And likewise the dear lass 

Who first won my heart 

The cold coast of Greenland 

My love will not chill 

And the longer my absence 

More loving she'll feel

Our ship is well rigged 

And she's ready to sail 

The crew they are anxious 

To follow the whale 

Where the icebergs do float 

And the stormy winds blow 

Where the land and the ocean 

Is covered with snow 

The cold coast of Greenland 

Is barren and bare 

No see time nor harvest 

Is ever known there 

And the birds here sing sweetly 

In mountain and dale 

But there's no bird in Greenland 

To sing to the whale 

Photos 

There is no habitation 

For a man to live there 

And the king of that country 

Is the fierce Greenland bear 

And there'll be no temptation 

To tarry long there 

With our ship under full 

We will homeward repair 

Farewell to Tarwathie 

Adieu Mormond Hill 

And the dear land of Crimmond 

I bid you farewell 

I'm bound off for Greenland 

And ready to sail 

In hopes to find riches 

In hunting the whale
