There once was a ship that put to sea  The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea

Before the boat had hit the water        The whale's tail came up and caught her

For forty days or even more                 The line went slack then tight once more

 

E’ A A A C’ E’ E’ E’                                                      E’ E’ D’ C’ B A

The winds blew up, her bow dipped down             Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her  When she dived down low (huh)

All boats were lost, there were only four                But still that whale did go (huh)

 

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’                               E’ D’ D’ D’ F’ A’ E’ E’

Soon may the Wellerman come  To bring us sugar and tea and rum

Soon may the Wellerman come  To bring us sugar and tea and rum

Soon may the Wellerman come  To bring us sugar and tea and rum

 

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’                                       E’ E’ D’ C’ B A

One day, when the tonguing is done  We'll take our leave and go

One day, when the tonguing is done  We'll take our leave and go

One day, when the tonguing is done  We'll take our leave and go

 

A A A C’ E’ E’ E’                                        E’ F’ D’ D’ E’ F ‘A’ E’ E’

She'd not been two weeks from shore  When down on her a right whale bore

No line was cut, no whale was freed  The captain's mind was not of greed

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on  The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone

 

E’ A A A C’ E’ E’ E’                                            E’ E’ D’ C’ B A

The captain called all hands and swore         He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed  She took that ship in tow (huh)

The Wellerman makes his regular call           To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

 

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’                              E’ D’ D’ D’ F’ A’ E’ E’

Soon may the Wellerman come  To bring us sugar and tea and rum

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’                                       E’ E’ D’ C’ B A

One day, when the tonguing is done  We'll take our leave and go

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’        E’ D’ D’ D’ F’ A’ E’ E’

Da-da-da-da-da   Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

A’ A’ F’ G’ E’ E’      E’ E’ D’ C’ B A

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
