Куплет 1:
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the
name of the ship was the
Billy of Tea
The
winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
О
blow, my bully boys,
blowПрипев:
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
goКуплет 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
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
goКуплет 3:
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
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
goКуплет 4:
No
line was cut, no whale was freed;
The
Captain's mind was
not of greed
But
he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
She
took the ship in
tow
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
goКуплет 5:
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
goКуплет 6:
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
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
