[00:00.97]Lyrics by：Nathan Evans/Alex Oriet/David Phelan/William Graydon/Samuel Brannan/Tom Hollings
[00:01.95]Composed by：Nathan Evans/Alex Oriet/David Phelan/William Graydon/Samuel Brannan/Tom Hollings
[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
[02:20.34]We'll take our leave and go
[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
