Ah yes, they used to teach us some of those at school all those years ago...
Strange to note though, 'Spanish Ladies' doesn't seem to appear on the list - though if you select 'Yankee whalermen' there is a link to Spanish Ladies next to the lyrics.
In both these, the last line of the first verse goes something like "we hope in a short time to see you again" but the one I remember was "and never no more will we see you again" like in the movie 'Jaws' (sung by the old fisherman when the oceanographer is assembling his shark cage, implying it won't be adequate protection from this particular shark!)
