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