[00:00.13]Composed by：David Robinson/Jonathan Darley/Andrew Yates/Robert Sattin/Anna Cornish
[00:00.52]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:03.45]And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:05.91]The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
[00:08.29]Blow me bully boys blow
[00:10.40]Huh
[00:10.98]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:13.50]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:16.16]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:18.51]We'll take our leave and go
[00:21.25]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:23.54]When down on her a right whale bore
[00:26.04]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:28.55]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:30.47]Hah
[00:31.09]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:33.68]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:36.30]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:38.62]We'll take our leave and go
[00:41.34]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:43.60]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:46.23]All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
[00:48.74]When she dived down below
[00:50.62]Huh
[00:51.25]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:53.66]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:56.32]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:58.64]We'll take our leave and go
[01:01.37]No line was cut no whale was freed
[01:03.70]The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:06.13]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:08.49]She took that ship in tow
[01:10.40]Huh
[01:11.03]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:13.52]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:16.19]One day when the tonguin' is done
[01:18.49]We'll take our leave and go
[01:21.22]For forty days or even more
[01:23.45]The line went slack then tight once more
[01:26.16]All boats were lost there were only four
[01:28.55]But still that whale did go
[01:31.26]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:33.60]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:36.30]One day when the tonguin' is done
[01:38.61]We'll take our leave and go
[01:41.32]As far as I've heard the fight's still on
[01:43.53]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[01:46.08]The Wellerman makes his a regular call
[01:48.39]To encourage the Captain crew and all
[01:50.99]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:53.50]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:56.04]One day when the tonguin' is done
[01:58.34]We'll take our leave and go
[02:01.19]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:03.41]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:06.07]One day when the tonguin' is done
[02:08.55]We'll take our leave and go
