[00:02.165] There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:04.597] And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:07.175] The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
[00:09.641] Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[00:12.535] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:14.855] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:17.412] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:19.807] We'll take our leave and go
[00:22.443] She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:24.611] When down on her a right whale bore
[00:27.361] The captain called all hands and swore
[00:29.584] He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!)
[00:32.478] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:34.824] To bring us sugar and tеa and rum
[00:37.536] One day, when the tonguin' is donе
[00:39.552] We'll take our leave and go
[00:42.375] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:44.866] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:47.509] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:49.830] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:52.434] Before the boat had hit the water
[00:54.690] The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:57.447] All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[00:59.748] When she dived down below (Huh!)
[01:02.446] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:04.804] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:07.390] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:09.683] We'll take our leave and go
[01:12.352] No line was cut, no whale was freed;
[01:14.587] The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:17.305] But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
[01:19.612] She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[01:22.391] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:24.673] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:27.172] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:29.847] We'll take our leave and go
[01:32.393] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:34.825] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:37.510] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:39.886] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:42.134] For forty days, or even more
[01:44.643] The line went slack, then tight once more
[01:47.277] All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:49.601] But still that whale did go
[01:52.368] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:54.702] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:57.379] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:59.752] We'll take our leave and go
[02:02.386] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
[02:04.516] The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[02:07.294] The Wellerman makes his a regular call
[02:09.570] To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[02:12.284] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:14.650] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:17.369] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:19.700] We'll take our leave and go
[02:22.309] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:24.710] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:27.381] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:29.732] We'll take our leave and go
