The Wellerman
There was a ship that put to sea
- There 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
- Oh blow me bully boys blow
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguing 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
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguing 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
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguing 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 tonguing is done
- We'll take our leave and go
- No line was cut no whale was freed
- An' the captain's mind was not on greed
- But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
- She took that ship in tow
- Soon may the Wellerman come
- To bring us sugar and tea and rum
- One day when the tonguing 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 tonguing is done
- We'll take our leave and go
Come to join my duet!
