Woods Tea Co. - Petticoat Whalers/Nantucket Sleigh Ride lyrics
Chorus: Let’s sing for the petticoat whalers Brave women, one and all gave up the life of a landlocked waif to brave the wind and squall There's often told the stories of men that brave the main all the men of honor men that found their fame They rode Nantucket sleigh ride and swam with Davey Jones but all the heroes were not men, nor all the stories told Chorus The Captains were a hard-nosed lot, a different breed of men the after-cabin journey was littered with their kin The wives were left to do their best abandoned on the shore til some said no, we too can go we'll wait at home no more Chorus Some like Mary Russel felt duty-bound to sail They had no interest in the hunt They cared not for the whale Life on board was not for faint of heart nor weak of knee While some would cower low with fright She kept her dignity Chorus Other men may say a woman's place is on the land Don't come to sea, leave that to me. They'd take their peg-legged stand But truth was told so many times They can't deny it now She'll ride the gale and wave her petticoat sail upon the bow Chorus(x2) |
