Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Icy Acres 
Icy Acres (Colin Wilkie) 
Fare ye well, ye icy acres Fare ye well, ye whaling grounds Fare ye well, ye banks of Greenland Weary whalers homeward bound 
Homeward breezes round us blossom Where the oak and the apple grows God forgot the green in Greenland He made the flowers of ice and snow 
cho: Fare ye well, ye icy acres Fare ye well, ye whaling grounds Fare ye well, ye banks of Greenland Weary whalers homeward bound 
Home where grasses lace the willow Where the river's running free And the waters sweetly flowing Turns towards the open sea 
Six long months we've been a-hunting Through a hell of frozen flame Now our hearts like sails are billowing As we turn for home again
