I'm happy to present my own version of this very catchy tune. • I hope you enjoy it =) • #Wellerman #SeaShanty #SoonMayTheWellermanCome #TheWellerman #SeaShanties • * * * * • THE WELLERMAN • Em • There once was a ship that put to sea • Am Em • And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea • Em • The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down • B7 Em • O blow, my bully boys, blow • • C G • Soon may the Wellerman come • Am Em • To bring us sugar and tea and rum • C G • One day, when the tonguin’ is done, • B7 Em • We’ll take our leave and go • She had 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 • • [chorus] • • 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. • [chorus] • No line was cut, no whale was freed; • The Captain’s mind was not of greed, • But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed; • She took the ship in tow. • [chorus] • For forty days, or even more, • The line went slack, then tight once more. • All boats were lost (there were only four) • But still that whale did go. • [chorus] • As far as I know, the fight’s still on; • The line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone. • The Wellerman makes his regular call • To encourage the Captain, crew, and all. • [chorus]
