Wellerman
[00:02.40] There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:05.20] The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
[00:07.80] The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
[00:10.20] O blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[00:12.80] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:15.30] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:17.70] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:20.10] We'll take our leave and go
[00:22.70] She'd not been two weeks from shore
[00:25.20] When down on her, a right whale bore
[00:27.80] The captain called all hands and swore
[00:30.10] He'd take that whale in tow (Huh!)
[00:32.80] Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:35.20] To bring us sugar and tеa and rum
[00:37.80] One day, when the tonguin' is donе
[00:40.10] We'll take our leave and go
[00:42.70] Da-da, da-da-da-da
[00:45.30] Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[00:47.70] Da-da, da-da-da-da
[00:50.00] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[00:52.80] Before the boat had hit the water
[00:55.10] The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:58.20] All hands to the side, har****ed and fought her
[01:00.30] When she dived down low (Huh!)
[01:02.80] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:05.20] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:07.60] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:10.00] We'll take our leave and go
[01:12.70] No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:15.10] The Captain's mind was not of greed
[01:17.70] And he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:20.10] She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[01:22.70] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:25.20] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:27.60] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:30.10] We'll take our leave and go
[01:32.60] Da-da, da-da-da-da
[01:35.10] Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
[01:37.80] Da-da, da-da-da-da
[01:40.10] Da-da-da-da-da-da
[01:42.70] For forty days, or even more
[01:45.20] The line went *****, then tight once more
[01:47.80] All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:50.10] But still that whale did go (Huh!)
[01:52.70] Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:55.40] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:57.80] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:00.10] We'll take our leave and go
[02:02.60] As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
[02:05.20] The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[02:07.70] The Wellerman makes his regular call
[02:10.00] To encourage the Captain, crew, and all (Huh!)
[02:13.00] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:15.20] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:17.60] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:20.00] We'll take our leave and go
[02:22.70] Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:25.60] To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:27.70] One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:30.20] We'll take our leave and go
