Lyrics Wellerman (with Santiano)

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
Blow me bully boys blow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
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, huah
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
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 below
Huah
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go, ah ah leave and go
No line was cut no whale was freed
The Captain's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
She took that
She took that ship in tow ship in tow
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
Hey
Oh, brr oh
Ah
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
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
Huah
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
Soon may
Soon may the Wellerman come the Wellerman come
To bring us
To bring us sugar and tea and rum sugar and tea and rum
One day
One day when the tonguin' is done when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
We'll take our
We'll take our leave and go leave and go
