Wellerman(Sea Shanty)
There once was a ship that put to sea
- There once was a ship that put to sea
- The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
- The winds blew up 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 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
- 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 of greed
- In 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
- And 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 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
