There once was a ship that put to sea
         Rem                      Lam
And the name of the ship was the Billy o' Tea
     Lam
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
 Mi                    Lam
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh!)

 Fa            Do
Soon may the Wellerman come
    Rem                Lam
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Fa                  Do
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
       Mi                 Lam
We’ll take our leave and go

    Lam
She had not been two weeks from shore
      Rem            Lam
When down on her a right whale bore
     Lam
The captain called all hands and swore
      Mi                 Lam
He'd take that whale in tow (huh!)

   Lam
Before the boat had hit the water
      Rem              Lam
The whale's tail came up and caught her
     Lam
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
      Mi                Lam
When she dived down below (huh!)

    Lam
No line was cut, no whale was freed;
     Rem                Lam
The Captain's mind was not of greed
    Lam
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
     Mi                Lam
She took the ship in tow (huh!)

     Lam
For forty days, or even more
     Rem                    Lam
The line went slack, then tight once more
     Lam
All boats were lost (there were only four)
      Mi                  Lam
But still that whale did go

 Fa            Do
Soon may the Wellerman come
    Rem                 Lam

   Lam
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
     Rem                     Lam
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
     Lam
The Wellerman makes his regular call
     Rem                    Lam
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
