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.
