Bequia Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Bequia, the largest of the Grenadines, home to a rare historic whaling and boat-building tradition. Bequia holds a rare exemption allowing a small, traditional hunt to continue under international whaling rules, and the island is equally known for its model-boat builders, who craft miniature wooden replicas of old whaling boats by hand. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
