Wellerman - The Longest Johns.mp3

[00:02.809]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:03.344]
[00:05.419]And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
[00:05.663]
[00:07.779]The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
[00:08.280]
[00:10.106]Blow me bully boys blow
[00:10.352]
[00:10.620]Huh
[00:10.879]
[00:13.230]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:13.501]
[00:15.586]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:15.842]
[00:18.203]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:18.451]
[00:20.292]We'll take our leave and go
[00:20.803]
[00:23.123]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:23.381]
[00:25.494]When down on her a right whale bore
[00:25.740]
[00:28.089]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:28.335]
[00:30.177]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:30.432]
[00:30.689]Hah
[00:30.689]
[00:33.375]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:33.893]
[00:35.980]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:35.980]
[00:38.311]One day when the tonguin' is done
[00:38.577]
[00:40.410]We'll take our leave and go
[00:40.939]
[00:43.297]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:43.567]
[00:45.925]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:46.189]
[00:48.551]All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
[00:48.551]
[00:50.352]When she dived down below
[00:50.611]
[00:50.853]Huh
[00:50.853]
[00:53.456]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:53.714]

[00:58.676]
[01:01.043]We'll take our leave and go
[01:01.302]
[01:03.622]No line was cut no whale was freed
[01:03.878]
[01:05.720]The Captain's mind was not on greed
[01:05.979]
[01:08.331]But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
[01:08.331]
[01:10.385]She took that ship in tow
[01:10.639]
[01:10.912]Huh

[01:20.846]
[01:23.204]For forty days or even more
[01:23.450]
[01:25.801]The line went slack then tight once more
[01:26.062]
[01:28.418]All boats were lost there were only four
[01:28.418]
[01:30.513]But still that whale did go
[01:30.780]
[01:33.381]Soon may the Wellerman come

[01:43.291]As far as I've heard the fight's still on
[01:43.547]
[01:45.872]The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
[01:45.872]
[01:47.969]The Wellerman makes his a regular call
