[verse 1]
there once was a man with a rallying cry
the name of the man was walter rye
his blood pumped up, his voice dropped down
o run, my saltires, run

[chorus]
soon may the thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning is done
we’ll take our leave and go

wip…
[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 (hah!)

[chorus]
soon may the thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning 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 (huh!)
[chorus]
soon may the thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning 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 on greed
but he belonged to the whaleman’s creed;
she took that ship in tow (huh!)

[chorus]
soon may the thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning 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 thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning 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 thamesman come
to win us gold and beer and run
one day, when the winning is done
we’ll take our leave and go

[outro]
at the end of the season and the racing is done
with a national medal and the surrey league won
we party all night and try to not chun
and into the summer we go
