There once was a ship that put to sea, and the name of that ship was the Billy of Tea.
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down.
Blow me, bully boys, blow!
[Ab] Soon [Eb] may the wellerman [Fm] come to bring us sugar [Cm] and tea and [Ab] rum.
One day [Eb] when the tongue-in-is-done, [Fm] we'll [Gm] take our [Cm] leave and go.
Now she'd not been two weeks [F] from shore when [Cm] down on her right wellbore,
the captain called all [F] hands and swore he'd take [Bb] that [C] well in tow.
[Ab] Soon [Eb] may the wellerman [Fm] come to bring us [Cm] sugar and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day [Eb] when the tongue-in-is-done, [Fm] we'll [Bb] take our [Cm] leave and go.
Before the boat had hit the [Fm] water, the [Cm] whale's tail came up and caught her.
All hands to the side, harpooned and [Fm] fought her when she [Eb] dived down [Cm] below.
[Ab] Soon [Eb] may the wellerman come [Fm] to bring us sugar [Cm] and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day [Eb] when the tongue-in-is-done, [Fm] we'll take [Bb] our [G] leave and go.
[Cm] [C] The line was cut, [Fm] no whale was freed, and the [C] captain's mind was not on greed.
But he [Fm] belonged to the wellman's creed, she took that ship [C] in tow.
[Ab] Soon [Eb] may the wellerman come [Fm] to bring us sugar [Cm] and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day [Eb] when the tongue-in-is-done, [Fm] we'll take [Gm] our leave [Cm] and go.
For forty [Bb] days or even more, [Fm] the line [Cm] went slack then tight once more.
All boats were lost, [Dm] there were only four, [Cm] and still [Bb] that whale [Ab] did go.
Soon [Eb] may the wellerman come [Fm] to bring us sugar [Cm] and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day [Eb] when the tongue-in-is-done, [Fm] we'll take [Gm] our leave [Cm] and go.
The bars have heard of the fight still on,
[Fm] the line's [Cm] not cut, and the whale's not gone.
The wellman makes his regular call [Fm] to [Bb] encourage the captain, [Cm] crew and [C] all.
