Wellerman - Sail North.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Sail North/Gavin McMahan
[00:17.468]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:21.045]And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:24.471]The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
[00:27.652]Blow, me bully boys, blow
[00:30.525]
[00:31.440]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:34.547]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:37.849]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[00:41.301]We'll take our leave and go
[00:43.622]
[00:45.154]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:48.351]When down on her, a right whale bore
[00:51.882]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:54.994]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:58.149]
[00:58.966]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:02.031]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:05.349]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:08.786]We'll take our leave and go
[01:11.938]
[01:12.693]Before the boat had hit the water
[01:15.704]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[01:19.347]All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[01:22.748]When she dived down below
[01:25.711]
[01:26.305]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:29.501]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:32.827]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[01:35.993]We'll take our leave and go
[01:39.397]
[01:40.122]No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:43.268]The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:46.776]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:50.015]She took that ship in tow
[01:52.812]
[01:53.769]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:56.860]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:00.413]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:03.593]We'll take our leave and go
[02:06.836]
[02:07.436]For forty days, or even more
[02:10.603]The line went slack, then tight once more
[02:14.082]All boats were lost, there were only four
[02:17.303]But still that whale did go
[02:20.351]
[02:21.057]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:24.264]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:27.801]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:31.018]We'll take our leave and go
[02:34.121]
[02:34.909]As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
[02:38.115]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[02:41.486]The Wellerman makes his a regular call
[02:44.866]To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[02:48.376]
[02:48.690]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:51.938]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:55.320]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[02:58.568]We'll take our leave and go
[03:01.492]
[03:02.374]Soon may the Wellerman come
[03:05.489]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[03:09.005]One day, when the tonguin' is done
[03:12.178]We'll take our leave and go
