No. 2 - Song - Rufus and Chorus

Lyrics by Willard Spenser

[Rufus:] We'll watch for the blowing whale,
O'er the starboard taffy-rail;
We'll follow his trail, and put salt on his tail,
and put salt, and put salt, and put salt, and put salt,
and put salt, salt on his tail.
[Basses:] Put salt on his tail, yo ho,
yo ho, yo ho, yo ho,
[All:] We'll watch for the blowing whale, yes, yes,
O'er the starboard taffy-rail, yes, yes,
[Rufus:] We'll follow his trail, and put salt on his tail,
and put salt, and put salt, and put salt, and put salt,
[All:] And put salt, salt on his tail.
[Basses:] Put salt on his tail, yo ho,
yo ho, yo ho, yo ho,
[All:] We'll watch for the blowing whale, yes, yes,
O'er the starboard taffy-rail, yes, yes,
[Rufus & Tenors:] We'll follow his trail, and put salt,
We'll follow his trail, and put salt,
[Basses:] and put salt on his tail,
[All:] and put salt upon his tail.
