[Verse 1]
There was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up and her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow!

[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Some day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Before the boat had hit the water
Thе whale's tail come up and caught her
All hands to thе side, harpooned and fought her
But she dived down below

[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Some day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
