[00:00.18]The Wellerman - Alina Gingertail
[00:10.24]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:13.13]And the name of that ship was the Billy o' tea
[00:15.63]The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
[00:18.17]Blow me bully boys blow
[00:20.81]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:23.14]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:25.78]One day when the tonguing is done
[00:28.16]We'll take our leave and go
[00:30.89]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:33.29]When down on her a right whale bore
[00:35.89]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:38.36]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:41.02]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:43.33]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:45.96]One day when the tonguing is done
[00:48.38]We'll take our leave and go
[00:51.18]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:53.54]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:56.10]Hands to the side harpooned and fought her
[00:58.69]When she dived down below
[01:01.16]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:03.54]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:06.31]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:08.57]We'll take our leave and go
[01:11.32]No line was cut no whale was freed
[01:13.63]The captain's mind was not on greed
[01:16.11]But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
[01:18.71]She took that ship in tow
[01:21.45]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:23.74]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:26.45]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:28.78]We'll take our leave and go
[01:31.53]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:33.83]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:36.52]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:38.89]We'll take our leave and go
[02:01.73]For forty days or even more
[02:04.23]The line went slack then tight once more
[02:06.93]All boats were lost there were only four
[02:09.23]And still that whale did go
[02:11.96]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:14.27]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:16.95]One day when the tonguing is done
[02:19.28]We'll take our leave and go
[02:22.08]As far as I've heard the fight's still on
[02:24.91]The line's not cut and whale's not gone
[02:28.17]The Wellerman makes his regular call
[02:32.78]To encourage the captain crew and all
[02:35.54]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:37.76]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:40.43]One day when the tonguing is done
[02:42.87]We'll take our leave and go
[02:45.40]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:47.91]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:50.52]One day when the tonguing is done
[02:52.99]We'll take our leave and go
