[00:11.96]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:14.27]And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
[00:16.75]The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
[00:19.04]O blow, my bully boys, blow
[00:21.58]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:23.98]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:26.37]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:28.65]We'll take our leave and go
[00:31.11]She'd not been two weeks from shore
[00:33.21]When down on her, a right whale bore
[00:35.93]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:38.21]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:40.71]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:43.05]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:45.49]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:47.78]We'll take our leave and go
[00:50.43]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:52.57]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:55.12]All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[00:57.51]When she dived down low
[00:59.99]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:02.28]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:04.73]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:07.07]We'll take our leave and go
[01:09.63]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:11.97]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:14.46]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:16.75]We'll take our leave and go
[01:19.13]No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:21.53]And the Captain's mind was not of greed
[01:23.94]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:26.27]She took that ship in tow
[01:28.72]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:31.10]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:33.54]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:35.93]We'll take our leave and go
[01:38.45]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:40.74]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:43.23]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:45.51]We'll take our leave and go
