There once was a ship |
That put to sea |
The name of the ship |
Was the Billy of Tea |
The winds blew up |
Her bow dipped down |
O blow, my bully boys, blow |

Soon may the Wellerman come |

To bring us sugar and tea and rum |

One day, when the tonguin' is done |

We'll take our leave and go |
She had not been |
Two weeks from shore |
When down on her |
A right whale bore |
The captain called |
All hands and swore |
He'd take that whale in tow |

Soon may the Wellerman come |

Before the boat had hit the water |
The whale's tail came up |
And caught her |
All hands to the side |
Harpooned and fought her |
When she dived down low |
Ab Eb |
Soon may the Wellerman come |

We'll take our leave and go |
No line was cut |
No whale was freed |
The Captain's mind |
Was not of greed |
And he belonged |
To the whaleman's creed |
She took that ship in tow |

Soon may the Wellerman come |

For forty days, or even more |
The line went slack |
Then tight once more |
All boats were lost |
There were only four |
But still that whale did go |

Soon may the Wellerman come |

We'll take our leave and go |
As far as I've heard |
The fight's still on |
The line's not cut |
And the whale's not gone |
The Wellerman makes |
His regular call |
To encourage the Captain |
Crew, and all |
Ab Eb |
Soon may the Wellerman come |
