[chorus]
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

[verse 1]
there once was a ship that put to sea
and the name of that ship was the billy o’ tea
the winds blew up, her bow dipped down
blow me, bully boys, blow

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done

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

to bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done

before the boat had hit the water
the whale’s tail came up and caught her
hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
when she dived down below

and he belonged to the whaleman’s creed
she took that ship in tow

for 40 days or even more
the line went slack then tight once more
all boats were lost, there were only 4
but still that whale did go
[chorus]
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

[verse 6]
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

[chorus]
soon may the wellerman come
to bring us sugar and tea and rum
one day, when the tonguing is done
i’ll take a leap and go?

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
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, take our leave and
take our leave and go!
