[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]
