Tell God and the Devil
Seven years a whaler, at sea for seven more
No braver man on earth now to comb that ocean floor
So load us in that whaleboat, one drops down every day
No braver man on earth boys, no matter what they say
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
Don't want to hear that fearsome gale calling out to you
The sea so cold and dark below, there'll be no saving you
So set that course on steady, steady as she goes
Just keep your eyes on lookin' out and holler there she blows
Get those sails and lines all ready, Joe
Get the load into the hold and off we go
Well there's blacksmiths and there's coopers, harpooners on the drill
They'll work all day and night boys as only whalers will
We'll chase those mighty devils, be ready to attack
Don't worry if you're fishing scared, us whalers got your back
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
God can't fetch you out here, and the Devil's lost your name
Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain
And when your spirit's waning, the fear is yours to tame
When you feel the darkness closin', pull up that anchor chain
And tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be...
Ain't gonna be the day we die
No braver man on earth now to comb that ocean floor
So load us in that whaleboat, one drops down every day
No braver man on earth boys, no matter what they say
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
Don't want to hear that fearsome gale calling out to you
The sea so cold and dark below, there'll be no saving you
So set that course on steady, steady as she goes
Just keep your eyes on lookin' out and holler there she blows
Get those sails and lines all ready, Joe
Get the load into the hold and off we go
Well there's blacksmiths and there's coopers, harpooners on the drill
They'll work all day and night boys as only whalers will
We'll chase those mighty devils, be ready to attack
Don't worry if you're fishing scared, us whalers got your back
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
God can't fetch you out here, and the Devil's lost your name
Your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain
And when your spirit's waning, the fear is yours to tame
When you feel the darkness closin', pull up that anchor chain
And tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be the day we die
So tell God and the Devil they can try
But today's not gonna be...
Ain't gonna be the day we die
