     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
     Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
     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
     She'd 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 (huh)
     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
     Da-da-da-da-da
     Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
     Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
     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 low (huh)
     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
     No line was cut, no whale was freed
     The captain's mind was not of greed
     And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
     She took that ship in tow (huh)
     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
     Da-da-da-da-da
     Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
     Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
     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 (huh)
     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
     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 regular call
     To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
     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.
