Lyrics Wellerman - Endigo , Maya Fennec
There
once
was
a
ship
that
put
to
sea
And
the
name
of
that
ship
was
the
Billy
o'
Tea
The
winds
blew
hard
her
bow
dipped
down
Blow,
me
bully
boys
blow
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
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
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
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
When
she
dived
down
below
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
No
line
was
cut
no
whale
was
freed
The
captain's
mind
was
not
on
greed
But
he
belonged
to
the
whaleman's
creed
She
took
that
ship
in
tow
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
For
forty
days
or
even
more
The
line
went
slack
then
tight
once
more
All
boats
were
lost
there
were
only
four
But
still
that
whale
did
go
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
As
far
as
I've
heard
the
fight's
still
on
The
line's
not
cut
and
the
whale's
not
gone
The
Wellerman
makes
his
a
regular
call
To
encourage
the
captain
crew
and
all
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
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
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
