Ode To Big Blue - Gordon Lightfoot
The oceans of the world
were the home of Big Blue

He was the greatest monster
that the world ever knew

And the place that he loved
best was the waters to the west

Around the blue Pacific he did roam

Big Blue moved alone
for a mighty blue was he

And the battles of the whales
was an awesome sight to see
And he took them one by one
and he drove them all away

In the mating of the day he was the king

Big Blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons

Though most of them feel victim to
the cruel harpoon guns
Ah, but he was too much wise to
get caught by the gunner's eyes

And so he lived at sea a hundred years

His mouth was as large as a tunnel,
so they say

His hide was thick as leather
and his eyes quick and small
And his back was all scarred by
the times he got away

And he knew the smell of whalers,
did Big Blue

Big Blue passed away to his natural decay

Beside the Arctic Circle as he traveled up that way
And there never was a man who
was born with a gunner's hand

Who ever took a pan to Big Blue

Now the gray whale has run and
the sperm is almost done

The fin backs and the Greenland
rights have all passed and gone
They've been taken by the men for
the money they could spend

And the killing never ends, it just goes on

The oceans of the earth were
the home of Big Blue

He was the greatest monster
that the world ever knew

And the place that he loved
best was the waters to the west

Around the blue Pacific he did roam
