[00:02.786] There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:05.282] And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:07.864] The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
[00:10.327] Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[00:13.073] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:15.461] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:18.056] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:20.416] We'll take our leave and go
[00:23.040] She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:25.337] When down on her a right whale bore
[00:28.027] The captain called all hands and swore
[00:30.223] He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!)
[00:33.104] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:35.432] To bring us sugar and tеa and rum
[00:38.029] One day, when the tonguin' is donе
[00:40.376] We'll take our leave and go
[00:43.082] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:45.499] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:48.111] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:50.435] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:52.989] Before the boat had hit the water
[00:55.342] The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:57.914] All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[01:00.410] When she dived down below (Huh!)
[01:03.053] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:05.423] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:08.058] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:10.354] We'll take our leave and go
[01:12.903] No line was cut, no whale was freed;
[01:15.329] The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:17.832] But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
[01:20.245] She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[01:23.002] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:25.372] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:28.022] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:30.332] We'll take our leave and go
[01:33.050] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:35.317] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:38.084] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:40.459] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:42.657] For forty days, or even more
[01:45.231] The line went slack, then tight once more
[01:47.838] All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:50.344] But still that whale did go
[01:53.011] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:55.428] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:58.076] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:00.398] We'll take our leave and go
[02:02.718] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
[02:05.126] The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[02:08.002] The Wellerman makes his a regular call
[02:10.273] To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[02:12.979] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:15.342] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:17.976] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:20.371] We'll take our leave and go
[02:23.058] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:25.372] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:28.013] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:30.304] We'll take our leave and go
