Ah, you grew up, seeing whale-ships Set sail before the sun-up Men anxious to provide a way for daughters and sons and pups An' wives so blonde and diligent Not shedding any tears They've been sayin' „I love ya Stollie Boy“, Goodbye for many years, many years
And, ya' grew up in pubs at night Where rowdy sailors roar An' you lost ya'several winters there on John Barleycorn But she caress's your neck, an' kisses your lips And takes off your weathered coat
Norwegian love, Norwegian true Mysterious ocean, Norwegian blue
One dreadful night a forest owl Relayed the awful news The right to swim had ricocheted Four whale-ing men were doomed The one they called „Ol' Ahab's son“ Returned the sting of steel And widows cried on that very day And sleep alone, still
Now she looks out on the North Sea Near the coast, near Stavanger And wonders of her whale-ing man Will ever re-appear The afghan singers play at night Oh so far from their home She spends her days on magazines and opium Her nights are so very cold
