Judy Collins – Bullgine Run
Avant de devenir avant tout une interprète de « chansons à textes », Judy Collins avait d’abord adopté un répertoire assez strictement folk, avec des chansons traditionnelles. Elle chante ici une chanson de marins, et plus précisément de chasseurs de baleines, Bullgine Run, en 1963, au cours d’un concert auquel assistait le président Kennedy. L’année d’après, elle en donnera pour son album suivant une autre et brillante version.
BULGINE RUN
Well the smartest clipper you could find Heave away haul away Is the Margaret Evans on the Black Ball Line Clear away the track and let the bullgine run. Tell me now are you most done? Heave away haul away Every day we're closer to home Clear away the track and let the bullgine run. Well tell me now are you bound to go Heave away Haul away Off to Greenland where there's ice and snow Clear away the track and let the bullgine run Tell me now are you bound to sail Heave away Haul away Off to Greenland to catch the whale Clear away the track and let the bullgine run Oh I though I heard my captain say Heave away haul away In another week we'll get more pay Clear away the track and let the bullgine run. Well tell me now are you bound to go Heave away Haul away Off to Greenland where there's ice and snow Clear away the track and let the bullgine run Oh the smartest clipper you could find Heave away haul away Is the Margaret Evans on the Black Ball Line Clear away the track and let the bullgine run.
