[verse 1]
there was a ship that put to sea
and the name of the ship was the billy of tea
the wind blew up, her bow dipped down
oh, blow, my bully boys, blow

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go

[verse 2]
she had not been two weeks from shore
when down on her a right whale bore
captain called all hands and swore
he’d take that whale in tow

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, whеn the tonguing is done
we’ll takе our leave and go

[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
before the boat had hit the water
the whale’s tail come up and caught her
all hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
but she dived down below

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go

[verse 4]
no line was cut, no whale was freed
the captain’s mind was not on greed
he belonged to the whaleman’s creed
she took that ship in tow

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go

[verse 5]
for forty days or even more
the line went slack, then tight once more
all the boats were lost (there were only four)
but still the whale did go
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go

[verse 6]
as far as i know the fight’s still on
line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone
the wellerman makes his regular call
to encourage the captain, crew and all

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go
soon may the wellerman come
and bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
we’ll take our leave and go
