Nathan Evans - Wellerman (Sea Shanty) Lyrics | #Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy O` Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow (Huh)

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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)

[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tеa and rum
One day, when the tonguin` is donе
We`ll take our leave and go

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 3]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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!)

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 5]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[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 (Huh)

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
