[00:09.49] There once was a ship that put to sea

[00:12.04] The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea

[00:13.98] The winds blew up, her bow dipped down

[00:16.45] Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

[00:18.86] Soon may the Wellerman come

[00:21.08] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[00:23.23] One day, when the tonguing is done

[00:25.35] We'll take our leave and go

[00:27.74] She'd not been two weeks from shore

[00:29.88] When down on her a right whale bore

[00:32.00] The captain called all hands and swore

[00:34.72] He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

[00:37.02] Soon may the Wellerman come

[00:39.00] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[00:41.29] One day, when the tonguing is done

[00:43.48] We'll take our leave and go

[00:45.65] Da-da-da-da-da

[00:47.77] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[00:50.16] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[00:54.69] Before the boat had hit the water

[00:56.90] The whale's tail came up and caught her

[00:59.59] All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

[01:01.44] When she dived down low (huh)

[01:03.87] Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:06.02] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:08.13] One day, when the tonguing is done

[01:10.53] We'll take our leave and go

[01:12.65] No line was cut, no whale was freed

[01:14.81] The captain's mind was not of greed

[01:17.19] And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

[01:19.31] She took that ship in tow (huh)

[01:21.72] Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:24.14] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:26.29] One day, when the tonguing is done

[01:28.41] We'll take our leave and go

[01:30.80] Da-da-da-da-da

[01:33.18] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[01:35.34] Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

[01:39.85] For forty days or even more

[01:41.97] The line went slack then tight once more

[01:44.38] All boats were lost, there were only four

[01:46.51] But still that whale did go (huh)

[01:48.63] Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:51.09] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[01:53.01] One day, when the tonguing is done

[01:55.45] We'll take our leave and go

[01:57.84] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on

[01:59.97] The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone

[02:02.09] The Wellerman makes his regular call

[02:04.47] To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

[02:06.88] Soon may the Wellerman come

[02:09.01] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[02:11.41] One day, when the tonguing is done

[02:13.52] We'll take our leave and go

[02:15.66] Soon may the Wellerman come

[02:18.02] To bring us sugar and tea and rum

[02:20.17] One day, when the tonguing is done

[02:22.56] We'll take our leave and go
