There
once
was
a
ship
that
put
to
sea
The
name
of
the
ship
was
the
Billy
of
Tea
The
winds
blew
up,
her
bow
dipped
down
Blow,
my
bully
boys,
blow
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
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
Before
the
boat
had
hit
the
water
The
whale's
tail
came
up
and
caught
her
All
hands
to
the
side,
harpooned
and
fought
her
But
she
dived
down
below
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
For
40
days
and
40
nights
The
line
went
slack,
then
went
tight
All
boats
were
lost,
they
sank
from
sight
Still,
the
whale
did
go
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Well,
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
at
dawn
To
encourage
the
crew
and
all
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
But
still,
the
whale
kept
fighting
on
'Til
our
supplies
were
almost
gone
Thank
God
the
Wellerman
comes
at
dawn
The
rum
is
running
low
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Well,
the
captain
says,
"It
seems
to
me
She's
the
bravest
whale
I
ever
did
see
Well,
cut
the
line
and
set
her
free
And
perhaps
we'll
meet
her
again
one
day"
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
Some
day,
when
the
tonguing
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
(go!)
