Bully or Billy?

A traditional New Zealand whaling song. Weller's were pretty much a monopoly on supplies in the early days of NZ, as everything came by coastal shipping, and they owned a vast majority of the ships that served the whaling stations all up and down the length of NZ. Hence the Weller Man, as the agent for Weller's was always a welcome sight for all Pakeha settlers.

Fun fact: Tonguin' in this song's context was the task of cutting whale blubber to render into oil.

I have been looking for this song for a long time and now I found it

There Once Was A Ship That Put To Sea And The Name Of That Ship Was The Billy O' Tea The Winds Blew Hard, Her Bow Dipped Down Blow, My Bully Boys, Blow (Huh!) 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 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 (Hah!) 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 Rarataratatraratatrararatatatatatatatata 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 Below (Huh!) 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 No Line Was Cut, No Whale Was Freed The Captain's Mind Was Not On Greed But He Belonged To The Whaleman's Creed She Took That Ship In Tow (Huh!) 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 Rarataratatraratatrararatatatatatatatata 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 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 As Far As I've Heard, The Fight's Still On The Line's Not Cut And The Whale's Not Gone The Wellerman Makes His A Regular Call To Encourage The Captain, Crew, And All 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

I'm a little confused , may you help me . What is feminine ? I mean , i would have wrote "his bow" instead of "her bow dipped down" ... Maybe "Billy" is a girl name that should be "Billie" ?

I met this amazing song on January 12th

Love that song

I love it

Legend has it that the captain is still fighting with that whale today, even in death

Je suis française et je n’arrive pas a suivre les paroles. 🥴
