the wellerman lyrics
[verse 1]
there was a ship that put to sea
and the name of that ship was the billy of tea
the winds blew up and her bow dipped down
blow, me bully boys, blow!
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ 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
the captain called all hands and swore
he’d take that whale in tow
[verse 3]
before the boat had hit the water
thе whale’s tail come up and caught her
all hands to thе side, harpooned and fought her
but she dived down below
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[verse 4]
for forty days and forty nights
the line went slack and then went tight
all boats were lost, they sank from sight
still the whale did go
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[verse 5]
as far as i’ve heard, the fight’s still on
the line’s not cut, the whale’s not gone
the wellerman will arrive and dole
to encourage the crew and all
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[verse 6]
but still the whale kept fighting on
till our supplies were almost gone
thank god the wellerman comes at dawn
the rum is running low!
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[verse 7]
well, the captain says, “it seems to me
she’s the bravest whale i ever did see
we’ll cut the line and set her free
and perhaps we’ll meet her again one day”
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
some day, when the tonguin’ is done
we’ll take our leave and go
