This goes hard and I love it a lot. Calling 1994 "nineteen hundred and ninety four" is such a cool way of making this sound like an older tale than it really is.
Thanks jimmy for including the photos of my Grandfather working in his old fishing boat with a make and break motor in it back in the 50's or 60's. also one of my brother in an old rickety, leaky rowboat that we played in as kids back then too. rest in Peace Gramps and Bob.
Love this song and a big shout out to Jimmy for including the pictures of my cousin Susan and the one of my Dad and his brothers and brothers in law. This has meant a lot to my family. ❤

In nineteen hundred and ninety four A whale washed up on the Western shore Way haul away Haul away the whale We rushed down to the courthouse there To hear the case and the judge declare Way haul away Haul away the whale Chorus: Fifty tons of TNT We’ll blow that beast right back to sea Way haul away Haul away the whale Route 19 Judique on the Floor We drained the taps Crawled back for more Way haul away Haul away the whale A brawl broke out at the Admiral One left hook and down he fell Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat Chorus Strathlorne girls are mighty fey They’ll dance all night and sleep all day Way haul away Haul away the whale But old Mabou is the place to be If you like your shine and your homemade cheese Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat Chorus The day was in one hell of a mess As we rolled out for Inverness Way haul away Haul away the whale At the bar and below the weather The band sang out We’ll go together Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat chorus That sweet lass from Dunvegan She stepped out and I stepped in Way haul away Haul away the whale She said if you’re passing through Margaree You must stop in for toast and me Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat chorus Along the shores of Cheticamp The people are fine But the weather is damp Way haul away Haul away the whale Further up in Ingonish They serve frosting with their fish Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat chorus I knew a lad from Whitney Pier With a lamp in the dark He’d hunt for deer Late one night The light grew dim The law came around And arrested him Way haul away Haul away the whale Repeat Chorus This story has a tragic side They blew that beast to PEI Way haul away Haul away the whale
50 tons .... bit much I think. I am a caper and saw a blue whale blown to pieces in Morien with only a hundred kgs of explosive.... this song is all over the place . Not sure what it's about.

This is by far the best sea shanty I've ever heard and the guys have the voices and just over the genuine feeling to them and the song

MacLean. Whitney pier. Lifes was as rough as the waves crash this land
Another dandy jimmy boyyy!!!!!!🤙🏻
Is this song about that whale they blew up in Oregon? Because that's great
Probably not. It is a song about the East coast of Canada (more specifically, Cape Breton Nova Scotia).
I am here and there
In nineteen hundred and ninety four
A whale washed up on the Western shore
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
We rushed down to the courthouse there
To hear the case and the judge declare
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Chorus:
Fifty tons of TNT
We’ll blow that beast right back to sea
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Route 19 Judique on the Floor
We drained the taps
Crawled back for more
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
A brawl broke out at the Admiral
One left hook and down he fell
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat Chorus
Strathlorne girls are mighty fey
They’ll dance all night and sleep all day
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
But old Mabou is the place to be
If you like your shine and your homemade cheese
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat Chorus
The day was in one hell of a mess
As we rolled out for Inverness
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
At the bar and below the weather
The band sang out
We’ll go together
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat chorus
That sweet lass from Dunvegan
She stepped out and I stepped in
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
She said if you’re passing through Margaree
You must stop in for toast and me
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat chorus
Along the shores of Cheticamp
The people are fine
But the weather is damp
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Further up in Ingonish
They serve frosting with their fish
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat chorus
I knew a lad from Whitney Pier
With a lamp in the dark
He’d hunt for deer
Late one night
The light grew dim
The law came around
And arrested him
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Repeat Chorus
This story has a tragic side
They blew that beast to PEI
Way haul away
Haul away the whale
Hey, his accent gets strong at times, would anyone mind dropping the lyrics? Thanks so much!
@The Guardsman As a Caper, I can say that is 100% accurate,
Of course you guys blew it all the way to pei, smdh
Good hyperbole!
I need some homemade cheese
