Wellerman (Sea Shanty)
(专辑: Wellerman - The Album - 2022)
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 O
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-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 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 Da-da, da-da-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
