Nantucket Girl’s Song

The Nantucket Girl’s Song is a witty poem found in the journal kept by Eliza Brock, wife of Peter C. Brock, master of the Nantucket ship Lexington on a whaling voyage from May 1853 to June 1856. It sums up how many women felt about their husbands being off on whaling voyages for years at a time. Susan J. Berman, songwriter and interpreter at the Nantucket Historical Association, has set this poem to music and added a verse of her own Susan J. Berman - Guitar & Vocals Ray K. Saunders - Lead Guitar Cadence
