Wellerman (One man low bass version) - North Cape
Lyrics by:Traditional Folk Song
Composed by:Traditional Folk Song
There once was a ship
That put to sea
The name of the ship was
The Billy of Tea
The winds blew up her
Bow dipped down
O blow
My bully boys blow
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
She'd 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
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
Before the boat
Had hit the water
The whale's tail came
Up and caught her
All hands to the side
Harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
Soon may
The Wellerman come
To bring us sugar
And tea and rum
One day when
The tonguin' is done
We'll take our
Leave and go
