    - LYRICS -
    There once was a ship that put to sea
    The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
    The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
    Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing' 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 (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing' 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 below (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing' is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    No line was cut, no whale was freed
    An' 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 tonguing' is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    For forty days or even more (ooh)
    The line went slack then tight once more
    All boats were lost, there were only four
    And still that whale did go
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing' 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 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 tonguing' 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 tonguing' is done
    We'll take our leave and go

      "Scrapping"?! Pretty sure you meant "scraping". Scrapping is what is done at the end of a ship's life. -Misspelling things isn't really a problem unless it changes the meaning and intent of a word. And on a ship, it isn't "scraping", either: It's called "holystoning", wherein a soft sandstone is used to scour the wooden decks of ships.

      @unmade verse Funny how the guy who's mad over dancing and bad jokes is still okay with using slurs.

    Lyrics:
    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
    Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing 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 (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    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 (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    No line was cut, no whale was freed
    The captain's mind was not of greed
    And 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 tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    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 (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing 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 regular call
    To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing 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 tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go

    Awesome!! I love this arrangement - not to mention the best bass I've heard in a LONG time. Happy to support you, and the Marine Conservation. Poor right whales...

    I love how this trend ended up matching these people together as friends. And boi did they create a group from it! It's not easy to find gals and boys who are into folk music let alone sea shanties in real life. These guys are real lucky. And I love how both The Longest John supports them aww ❤
