Yo, boys, sea shanty!
There once was a ship that looked to sea, The name of the ship was a billy of tea.
The winds blew up her bow, dip down, oh blow, My bully boys, blow!
[Ab] Soon may [Eb] the wellermen come, To bring us [Cm] sugar and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day when the tonguin' is [G] done, We'll take our leavin' blow.
[C] 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.
[Eb] Soon may the wellermen come, [Bb] To bring us sugar [Cm] and tea and rum.
[Ab] One day [Eb] when the tonguin' is done, [Bb] We'll take our [G] leavin' blow.
But [C] two [C] weeks before the [Cm] boat had hit the water, The [Cm] whale's tail came up and caught her,
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her, When she dived down low.
[Eb] Soon may the wellermen come, To [Bb] bring us [Cm] sugar and tea and [Ab] rum.
One day when the [Eb] tonguin' is done, We'll take our [C] leavin' blow.
No line was cut, no whale was freed, The captain's mind was not unbreed,
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed, She took that ship in tow.
Soon [Eb] may the wellermen come, To bring [Cm] us sugar and tea and rum.
One [Eb] day when the tonguin' [Gm] is done, We'll take our leavin' [C] blow.
For forty [Eb] days or even more, The line went [Cm] slack then tight once more,
A boat were [Eb] lost, there were only four, But still that whale did go.
