Key : Cm
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
      Cm
There once was a ship that put to sea
        Fm                       Cm
And the name of the ship was the Billy o' Tea
    Cm
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Cm       G           Cm
Blow, my bully boys, blow Ha!

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguin' is done
      Ab       G         Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    Cm
She had not been two weeks from shore
     Fm            Cm
When down on her a right whale bore
    Cm
The captain called all hands and swore
     Cm        G        Cm
He'd take that whale in tow Ha!



[Verse 3]
---------------------
  Cm
Before the boat had hit the water
    Fm                Cm
The whale's tail came up and caught her
    Cm
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
     Cm        G       Cm
When she dived down below Ha!



[Verse 4]
---------------------
   Cm
No line was cut, no whale was freed
    Fm                 Cm
The Captain's mind was not of greed
    Cm
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
    Cm       G       Cm
She took the ship in tow Ha!



[Verse 5]
---------------------
    Cm
For forty days, or even more
    Fm                    Cm
The line went slack, then tight once more
    Cm
All boats were lost, there were only four
    Cm         G         Cm
But still that whale did go



[Verse 6]
---------------------
   Cm
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
    Fm                     Cm
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
    Cm
The Wellerman makes his regular call
     Fm                   Cm
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguin' is done
      Ab       G         Cm Eb
We'll take our leave and go
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguin' is done
      Ab       G         Cm
We'll take our leave and go
