BOOTHBAY WHALE

Folk song from Maine

Key: D

5  -5   6  6    5   4    6    6   5   5

It was way up north in Booth-bay har-bor

  5    5  6    6   -5  5    -4

Where the wa-ter’s al-ways cold

-4   -3  -3  -4   6  6  -7  -7 -6

The fish-er folk are a clev-er lot

6  -5 -5 5    -4   4

Or so I have been told

 3   4   4   4   5    6    7

Blow hi for his big black-head

 -7  -6  -6  -6   7   -6    6

Blow low for his big black tail

 6   6     6   5   6   -6 -6  6   6   5

Now step right up and take a lit-tle swig

 5    5     -4  -5 -5   5   -4    4

And you’ll soon see a Booth-bay whale.
