Lyrics Wellerman - Sea Shanty
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
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
tonguing'
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
tonguing'
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
tonguing'
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
tonguing'
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
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
come
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
tonguing'
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
To
bring
us
sugar
and
tea
and
rum
One
day,
whe
the
tonguing'
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
tonguing'
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
tonguing'
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
One
day,
when
the
tonguing'
is
done
Soon
may
the
Wellerman
come
One
day,
when
the
tonguing'
is
done
We'll
take
our
leave
and
go
