Wellerman
There once was a ship that put to sea
- There once was a ship that put to sea
- And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
- The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
- Blow me bully boys blow
- Huh
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- She had not been two weeks from shore
- When down on her a right whale bore
- The captain called all hands and swore
- He'd take that whale in tow
- Hah
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- Before the boat had hit the water
- The whale's tail came up and caught her
- All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
- When she dived down below
- Huh
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- No line was cut no whale was freed
- The Captain's mind was not on greed
- But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
- She took that ship in tow
- Huh
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- For forty days or even more
- The line went slack then tight once more
- All boats were lost there were only four
- But still that whale did go
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- As far as I've heard the fight's still on
- The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
- The Wellerman makes his a regular call
- To encourage the Captain crew and all
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguin' is done
- We'll take our leave and go
Come to join my duet!
