Lyrics Bally Mena - Harry Belafonte

Bally Mena, Bally Mena, Bally Mena in the harbor

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black

Brothers we were and brothers we′ll be

I till the soil and you sail the sea

To the ship Bally Mena you gave your best

But a raging sea laid your soul to rest

Bally Mena, Bally Mena, Bally Mena in the harbor

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black

No more to hear, to hear the tale

Of how you tamed a mighty whale

And the girl who waited so patiently

Will walk no more by the sea

Bally Mena, Bally Mena, Bally Mena in the harbor

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black

Bring the Bally Mena to the dock

And paint the Bally Mena black
