- Jonathan Young Wellerman 歌詞
- Jonathan Young
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy OTea
The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done
Well take our leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her right a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
Hed take that whale in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done
Well take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whales tail came up and caught her
Hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived below
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done
Well take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
An the captains mind was not on greed
He belonged to the Whalemans creed
She took that ship in two
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done
Well take our leave and go
For forty days or even more
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
Well take our leave and go
As far as Ive heard, the fights still on
The line's not cut, and the whales 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
Well take our leave and go
