[D#]
There once was a ship that put to sea, The name of the ship was the B.L. [C#].T. The winds blew up, her bow dipped down, All goony bully boys blow. [E] Soon may the watermen [F#m] come, To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum. One [E] day when the town is [G#m] done, We'll take a [C#] leave and go. She had not been two weeks from [F#] shore, When down on [C#] her, her right well bore. The captain called, all hands on [G#] shore, He'd take the [C#] whaling tow. [A] Soon [E] may the watermen [F#m] come, To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum. One [E] day when the town is [G#] done, We'll take a [C#m] leave and go. Oh what shall we do with a drunken [B] sailor? What shall we do with a drunken [C#m] sailor? What shall we do with a drunken [B] sailor? And I [C#m] them all. Hey ho, when up she [B] rises, Hey ho, when up she [C#m] rises, Hey ho, when up she [B] rises, Early [C#m] in the [A] morning. Soon [E] may the watermen [F#] come, To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum. One [E] day when the town is [G#] done, We'll take a [C#m] leave and go. Before the boat had hit the [F#m] water, The whale still [C#m] came up on the cove, And stood aside her brood and [G#] foe, When she [C#] dove down low. [A] Soon [E] may the watermen [F#m] come, To bring us [C#m] sugar and tea and [A] rum. One [E] day when the town is [G#] done, We'll take a [C#m] leave and go. [F#m] [C#m]

[A] [E] [G#] [C#m] No line was cut, no whale was freed, [F#m] The captain's mind [C#m] was not afraid, And he belonged to the whaleman's [G#] creed, She took that ship [C#m] and sailed.

fifty-man at the man's [F#] chest, Yo ho ho, [G#] and a bottle of rum. [C#m] Drink and tilt the whole head down with the [G#] rest, Yo ho ho, [C#m] and a bottle of rum. [A] Soon [E] may the watermen [F#m] come, To bring us sugar [C#m] and tea and rum. [A] One day [E] when the town is done, [G#] We'll take a [C#m] leave and go.
