[00:02.92]There once was a ship that put to sea

[00:05.39]The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

[00:08.14]The winds blew up her bow dipped down

[00:10.42]O blow my bully boys blow huh

[00:13.27]Soon may the Wellerman come

[00:15.56]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[00:18.23]One day when the tonguin' is done

[00:20.34]We'll take our leave and go

[00:23.11]She had not been two weeks from shore

[00:25.48]When down on her a right whale bore

[00:28.07]The captain called all hands and swore

[00:30.48]He'd take that whale in tow huh

[00:33.17]Soon may the Wellerman come

[00:35.51]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[00:38.12]One day when the tonguin' is done

[00:40.34]We'll take our leave and go

[00:53.22]Before the boat had hit the water

[00:55.64]The whale's tail came up and caught her

[00:57.97]All hands to the side harpooned and fought her

[01:00.67]When she dived down low huh

[01:03.18]Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:05.50]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:08.16]One day when the tonguin' is done

[01:10.38]We'll take our leave and go

[01:13.00]No line was cut no whale was freed

[01:15.54]The captain's mind was not of greed

[01:17.99]And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

[01:20.47]She took that ship in tow huh

[01:23.19]Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:25.50]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:28.12]One day when the tonguin' is done

[01:30.33]We'll take our leave and go

[01:42.94]For forty days or even more

[01:45.52]The line went slack then tight once more

[01:48.03]All boats were lost there were only four

[01:50.36]But still that whale did go

[01:53.23]Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:55.48]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:58.17]One day when the tonguin' is done

[02:00.34]We'll take our leave and go

[02:02.97]As far as I've heard the fight's still on

[02:05.55]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone

[02:08.04]The Wellerman makes his regular call

[02:10.44]To encourage the captain crew and all

[02:13.18]Soon may the Wellerman come

[02:15.50]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[02:18.20]One day when the tonguin' is done

[02:23.28]Soon may the Wellerman come

[02:25.46]To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[02:28.16]One day when the tonguin' is done

[02:30.31]We'll take our leave and go
