(Who was whistling?) Who was whistling? (Who was whistling?) Who was whistling, If not my sailor? Who was whistling? (Who was whistling?) Who was whistling? (Who was whistling?) Who was whistling, He’s not my sailor… A whistling lad was calling to his sweetheart To tell her he was sailing off to sea A whistling lad became this lassie’s sorrow For a whistling lad and she would never be Waves crash upon the bough The wind she blows and moans and howls Her cries stretch across the sea While she listens for the lad (While she listens for the lad) While she listens for the lad Who was whistling #halloween #shanty #pirates
