Lyrics:

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me 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 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 (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

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 (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
An' the captain's mind was not on greed
But 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

For forty days or even more (ooh)
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
And still that whale did 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

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

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

Another Wellerman Song, right on spot for my birthday! Great work guys, keep it up!

[SethOmegaful]

Wish I could reach lows like you guys. It is what it is. heh.

[michelefritchie]

I think it would be great if the Irish Rovers would cover this. I know they're back to doing small venues, but... Their vocals would add to this.

[Xx-DreadfulGhost]

[forbsisauras]

You know, since space is going to be the great unknown frontier in the future. What would the shanty music be like, if any? would it have the same roots to sea shanties?

[Seabass-a]

Are Sea Shanties sung by grown men cosplaying as 19th century deckhands?

[Евгений-рчг]

Нихера не понял, кроме чай и ром, но бит жгет!

[Glennekeeuh]

What are your (artist's) names? I'd love to hear how you each sound seperately!

[itcangetbetter]

A bit too fancy lad sounding on the high end, and too fast, but bass sounded great

[ChristofRackStefaniak]

Finally a Version without this annoying mmh mhh mhh
