[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ There once was a ship that put to sea, and the name of the ship was the Billy O'Tee.
The winds blew harder, bow dipped down below my bully boys blow.
_ Soon may the Wellerman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum.
[F] One day when the tonguing is done we'll take our [D] leave and go.
She'd not been two weeks from shore when down on her a right well bore,
the captain called all hands and swore he'd dig that well in tow.
