Race To Be King (Live From Cambridge Folk Festival, 3rd August 2008)

We left our sweethearts and our wives along that pier

Cheer up they said you'll soon return in half a year

So we sailed up north to reach the ice we took full sails

Each boat was manned with guns and rope to hunt that whale

We know that we're fighting in this frost on our own

And we'll see no sound or sight of our homes

And our lovers will be waiting there until spring

It's a ramble and a race to be king

Now we've been sailing a league or three untill we glimpsed that shore

The night was dark and won no hearts so we stayed on board

There fired a shot along our deck and down one side

And it cracked our mast and swept in fast our bird she cried out

That we know that we're fighting in this frost on our own

And we'll see no sound or sight of our homes

And our lovers will be waiting there until spring

It's a ramble and a race to be king

And we know that we're fighting in this frost on our own

And we'll see no sound or sight of our homes

And our lovers will be waiting there until spring

It's a ramble and a race to be king

It's a race to be king du du du du

It's a race to be king du du du du

Race to be king du du du du
