it's not a good idea to listen to farewell to tarwathie at 3:30 am

especially if you wear a ton of eyemakeup.
if you've never heard it,
judy sings a capella with a background of haunting humpbacks. amazing song. you really can hear the sirens on their isle....

Farewell to Tarwathie

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
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 farewellI'm bound off for Greenland
And ready to sail
In hopes to find riches
In hunting the whale
