A fo'c's'le chanty about the 1850's Kamchatka bowhead and Pacific sperm whale trade. The original title could be "Rolling Down to Old Mohee". The lyrics have been found in records going back to the mid 19th century but the background of the melody is uncertain.
Other whaling songs in this section are:
    "Greenland Whale Fishery"
    "Bonny Ship the Diamond"
    "Blow, Ye Winds"
It has been recorded by A.L. Lloyd and Stan Rodgers among others.
I learned it from the Stan Rodgers recording.
