Capo 3

Am

There once was a ship that put to sea

Dm Am

And the name of the ship was the Billy o’ Tea

Am

The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down

E Am

O blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh!)

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

We’ll take our leave and go

Am

She had not been two weeks from shore

Dm Am

When down on her a right whale bore

Am

The captain called all hands and swore

E Am

He’d take that whale in tow (Huh!)

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us sugar and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

We’ll take our leave and go

Am

Before the boat had hit the water

Dm Am

The whale’s tail came up and caught her

Am

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her

E Am

When she dived down below (Huh!)

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

We’ll take our leave and go

Am

No line was cut, no whale was freed;

Dm Am

The Captain’s mind was not on greed

Am

But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed;

E Am

She took the ship in tow (Huh!)

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

We’ll take our leave and go

Am

For forty days, or even more

Dm Am

The line went slack, then tight once more

Am

All boats were lost there were only four

E Am

But still that whale did go

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

We’ll take our leave and go

Am

As far as I’ve heard, the fight’s still on;

Dm Am

The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone

Am

The Wellerman makes his regular call

Dm Am

To encourage the Captain, crew, and all

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am G

Well take our leave and go

F C

Soon may the Wellerman come

Dm Am

To bring us suger and tea and rum

F C

One day, when the tonguin’ is done,

E Am

Well take our leave and gooooo
