[00:01.12]There once was a ship that put to sea.
[00:03.96]And the name of that ship was the Billy of Tea.
[00:06.56]The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down.
[00:09.15]Blow, me bully boys, blow (huah) !
[00:11.49]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[00:13.84]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[00:16.45]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[00:18.77]We'll take our leave and go.
[00:25.34]She had not been two weeks from shore.
[00:28.47]When down on her a right whale bore.
[00:31.06]The captain called all hands and swore.
[00:33.39]He'd take that whale in tow (huah) !
[00:35.94]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[00:38.28]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[00:40.88]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[00:42.98]We'll take our leave and go.
[00:45.45]Before the boat had hit the water.
[00:48.28]The whale's tail came up and caught her.
[00:50.84]All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her.
[00:53.17]When she dived down below (huah) !
[00:55.49]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[00:57.72]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[01:00.31]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[01:02.62]We'll take our leave and go.
[01:05.42]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[01:07.75]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[01:10.30]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[01:12.28]We'll take our leave and go.
[01:20.03]No line was cut, no whale was freed.
[01:22.38]And the captain's mind was not on greed.
[01:24.99]But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed.
[01:27.33]She took that ship in tow !
[01:29.85]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[01:32.20]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[01:34.76]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[01:37.09]We'll take our leave and go.
[01:58.94]For forty days or even more.
[02:01.54]The line went slack then tight once more.
[02:04.13]All boats were lost, there were only four.
[02:06.48]And still that whale did go.
[02:09.07]As far as I've heard, the fight's still on.
[02:11.41]The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone.
[02:13.75]The Wellerman makes his regular call.
[02:16.09]To encourage the captain, crew and all(huah) !
[02:21.26]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[02:23.61]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[02:26.18]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[02:28.26]We'll take our leave and go.
[02:30.87]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[02:33.47]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[02:35.81]One day, when the tonguing is done.
[02:38.12]We'll take our leave and go.
[02:40.98]Soon may the Wellerman come.
[02:43.29]To bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[02:45.90]One day, when the tonguing is done.
