Lyrics
0:01There once was a ship that put to sea
0:04The name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
0:06The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
0:09Blow me bully boys blow huh
0:11Soon may the Wellerman come
0:13To bring us sugar and tea and rum
0:16One day when the tonguin' is done
0:18We'll take our leave and go
0:25She had not been two weeks from shore
0:28When down on her a right whale bore
0:31The captain called all hands and swore
0:33He'd take that whale in tow hah
0:36Soon may the Wellerman come
0:38To bring us sugar and tea and rum
0:41One day when the tonguin' is done
0:43We'll take our leave and go
0:45Before the boat had hit the water
0:48The whale's tail came up and caught her
0:50All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
0:53When she dived down below huah
0:55Soon may the Wellerman come
0:58To bring us sugar and tea and rum
1:00One day when the tonguin' is done
1:02We'll take our leave and go
1:05Soon may the Wellerman come
1:07To bring us sugar and tea and rum
1:10One day when the tonguin' is done
1:12We'll take our leave and go
1:20No line was cut no whale was freed
1:22The Captain's mind was not on greed
1:24But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
1:27She took that ship in tow
1:29Soon may the Wellerman come
1:32To bring us sugar and tea and rum
1:34One day when the tonguin' is done
1:37We'll take our leave and go
1:59For forty days or even more
2:01The line went slack then tight once more
2:04All boats were lost there were only four
2:06But still that whale did go
2:09As far as I've heard the fight's still on
2:11The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
2:13The Wellerman makes his a regular call
2:16To encourage the Captain crew and all
2:20Huah
2:21Soon may the Wellerman come
2:23To bring us sugar and tea and rum
2:26One day when the tonguin' is done
2:28We'll take our leave and go
2:31Soon may the Wellerman come
2:33To bring us sugar and tea and rum
2:36One day when the tonguin' is done
2:38We'll take our leave and go
2:41Soon may the Wellerman come
2:43To bring us sugar and tea and rum
2:45One day when the tonguin' is done
2:48We'll take our leave and go
2:50We'll take our leave and go
2:52We'll take our leave and
2:56Go
