[Verse 1]
G D G
I've sailed the North Atlantic with ice flows in the breeze
G C D
I've sailed the Dutch West Indies o'er her calm blue sunny seas
G C D
when I think of ships and seamen my heart returns again
G C D G
to a season spent in Moreton Bay with the Queensland whaling men
[Chorus]
G D G
Yo ho you Queensland Whalers, you've cut the sugar cane
G C D
You've driven heards of cattle o'er the dry and dusty plain
G C D
You've dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail
G C D G
and now you come to Moreton Bay to catch the Humpback Whale
G C D G
[Verse 2]
G D G
For men who've tamed the brumbies, cought bullocks by the tail
G C D
It really is no problem to catch a Humpback Whale
G C D
Just stear your iron seahorse, point your gun through the rigging strutts
G C D G
and when she runs from the coral scrub, you belt her in the guts
[Chorus]
G D G
Yo ho you Queensland Whalers, you've cut the sugar cane
G C D
You've driven heards of cattle o'er the dry and dusty plain
G C D
You've dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail
G C D G
and now you come to Moreton Bay to catch the Humpback Whale
G C D G
[Verse 3]
G D G
For men up in the crows nest, so whaling legends go
G C D
when they spy a Humpback Whale, they yell out "There she blows"
G C D
but here in sunny Queensland, you'll often hear them shout
G C D G
"There goes a bloody beauty mate so get your finger out"
[Chorus]
G D G
Yo ho you Queensland Whalers, you've cut the sugar cane
G C D
You've driven heards of cattle o'er the dry and dusty plain
G C D
You've dug the ore at Isa, laid countless miles of rail
G C D G
and now you come to Moreton Bay to catch the Humpback Whale
