Wellerman (remastered)

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

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

Soon may the wellerman come, To bring us sugar and tea and rum

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

She'd 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, To bring us sugar and tea and rum

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

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

All hands to the side harpooned
