Wellerman – Sea Shanty

There once was a ship that put to sea

The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

Oh, blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh)

She'd 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 tеa and rum (Hey)

One day, when the tonguin' is donе

We'll take our leave and go

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

Hey

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 low (Huh)

She'd not been two weeks from shore

When down on her, a white 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 (Hey)

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

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

Soon, may the Wellerman come

To bring us sugar and tea and rum (Hey)

One day, when the tonguin' is done

We'll take our leave and go

Take our leave and go

Take our leave and go
