[Verse 1]

       Am
There once was a ship that put to sea
              Dm                                  Am
And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
         Am
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
      E                             Am
O blow, my bully boys, blow

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

       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

[Chorus]

   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

[Verse 3]

     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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

      Am
No line was cut, no whale was freed;
          Dm                      Am
The Captain's mind was not of greed
       Am
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
        E                       Am
She took the ship in tow

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 5]

       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

[Chorus]

  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

[Verse 6]

     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

[Chorus]

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 Asus2
We’ll take our leave and go

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
