colm r. mcguinness – wellerman lyrics
[verse 1]
there once was a ship that put to sea
and the name of the ship was the billy of tea
the winds blew up, her bow dipped down
oh blow, me bully boys, blow
[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 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
[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 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 below
[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
but he belonged to the whaleman’s creed
she took that ship in tow
[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 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
[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+a+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 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
