[00:01.555]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:04.059]And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:06.553]The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
[00:08.804]Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[00:11.303]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:13.554]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:16.054]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:18.304]We'll take our leave and go
[00:20.803]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:23.303]When down on her a right whale bore
[00:25.803]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:28.059]He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!)
[00:30.555]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:32.804]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:35.305]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:37.306]We'll take our leave and go
[00:39.806]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:42.304]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:44.804]All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[00:47.056]When she dived down below (Huh!)
[00:49.803]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:51.804]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:54.553]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:57.803]We'll take our leave and go
[00:59.305]No line was cut, no whale was freed;
[01:01.557]The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:03.804]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
[01:06.303]She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[01:09.055]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:11.303]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:13.803]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:15.803]We'll take our leave and go
[01:18.554]For forty days, or even more
[01:20.553]The line went slack, then tight once more
[01:23.057]All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:25.306]But still that whale did go
[01:28.053]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:30.304]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:32.803]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:35.304]We'll take our leave and go
[01:37.304]As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
[01:40.059]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[01:42.303]The Wellerman makes his a regular call
[01:44.553]To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[01:47.303]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:49.553]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:52.054]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:54.303]We'll take our leave and go
[01:57.055]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:59.053]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:01.553]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:04.053]We'll take our leave and go
