[00:02.850] There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:05.300] The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
[00:07.950] The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
[00:10.250] Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
[00:13.100] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:15.450] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:18.050] One day, when the tonguing is done
[00:20.250] We'll take our leave and go
[00:23.100] She'd not been two weeks from shore
[00:25.400] When down on her a right whale bore
[00:28.000] The captain called all hands and swore
[00:30.300] He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
[00:33.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:35.450] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:38.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[00:40.200] We'll take our leave and go
[00:43.000] Da-da-da-da-da
[00:45.450] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:48.200] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:53.000] Before the boat had hit the water
[00:55.450] The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:57.750] All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[01:00.550] When she dived down low (huh)
[01:03.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:05.400] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:08.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[01:10.250] We'll take our leave and go
[01:12.800] No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:15.400] The captain's mind was not of greed
[01:17.950] And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
[01:20.250] She took that ship in tow (huh)
[01:23.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:25.250] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:28.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[01:30.200] We'll take our leave and go
[01:33.000] Da-da-da-da-da
[01:35.500] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:38.000] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:42.800] For forty days or even more
[01:45.450] The line went slack then tight once more
[01:47.950] All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:50.250] But still that whale did go (huh)
[01:53.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:55.350] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:58.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[02:00.300] We'll take our leave and go
[02:02.850] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
[02:05.450] The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
[02:08.050] The Wellerman makes his regular call
[02:10.300] To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
[02:13.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:15.400] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:18.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[02:20.250] We'll take our leave and go
[02:23.000] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:25.400] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:28.000] One day, when the tonguing is done
[02:30.250] We'll take our leave and go
