Wellerman (Sea Shanty - 220 Kid X Billen Ted Remix) - SLK & Friends

Lyrics by:ALexander Oriet/David Phelan/Nathan Evans

Composed by:ALexander Oriet/David Phelan/Nathan Evans

There once was a ship that put to sea

And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea

The winds blew hard her bow dipped down

Blow me bully boys blow hah

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

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

 

Take our leave and go

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

 

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

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

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

 

Take our leave and go

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

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
