[00:01.64]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:06.83]The name of that ship was the Billy of Tea

[00:09.18]Blow me bully boys blow huh
[00:11.77]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:14.02]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:16.71]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:18.86]We'll take our leave and go
[00:26.09]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:28.78]When down on her a right whale bore
[00:31.28]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:33.87]He'd take that whale in tow hah
[00:36.27]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:38.56]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:41.16]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:43.55]We'll take our leave and go
[00:46.04]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:48.29]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:50.88]All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
[00:53.38]When she dived down below huah

[01:20.27]No line was cut no whale was freed
[01:22.71]The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:25.16]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed

[02:01.77]The line went slack then tight once more
[02:04.27]All boats were lost there were only four
[02:06.66]But still that whale did go
[02:09.26]As far as I've heard the fight's still on
[02:11.55]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
