Testo

[Verse 1]
      Cm
There once was a ship that put to sea
    Fm                       Cm
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
   G7                   Cm
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Verse 2]
Cm
She'd not been two weeks from shore
     Fm            Cm
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
     G7                 Cm
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Interlude]
Ab    Eb
Dadadadadadada
Fm        Cm
Dadadadadadadada
Ab    Eb      G7      Cm
Dadadadadadadadadadadada

[Verse 3]
  Cm
Before the boat had hit the water
    Fm                Cm
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side,
harpooned and fought her
G7                  Cm
When she dived down low (huh)

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Verse 4]
   Cm
No line was cut, no whale was freed
    Fm                 Cm
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
    G7                Cm
She took that ship in tow (huh)

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Interlude]
Ab    Eb
Dadadadadadada
Fm        Cm
Dadadadadadadada
Ab    Eb      G7      Cm
Dadadadadadadadadadadada

[Verse 5]
    Cm
For forty days or even more
    Fm                   Cm
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost,
there were only four
    G7                   Cm
But still that whale did go (huh)

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Verse 6]
   Cm
As far as I've heard,
the fight's still on
    Fm
The line's not cut,
        Cm
and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
     G7                   Cm
To encourage the captain, crew and all

[Chorus]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go

[Outro]
Ab           Eb
Soon may the Wellerman come
   Fm                 Cm
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Ab                Eb
One day, when the tonguing is done
      G7                 Cm
We'll take our leave and go
