The Longest Johns - The Wellerman Capo 2
[Verse 1]
Am
There once was a ship that put to sea
Dm Am
And the name of the ship was the Billy O’Tea
Am
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
E Am
O blow, my bully boys, blow
[Chorus]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
[Verse 2]
Am
She had not been two weeks from shore
Dm Am
When down on her a right whale bore
Am
The captain called all hands and swore
E Am
He'd take that whale in tow
[Chorus]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
[Verse 3]
Am
Before the boat had hit the water
Dm Am
The whale's tail came up and caught her
Am
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
E Am
When she dived down below
[Chorus]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
[Verse 4]
Am
No line was cut, no whale was freed,
Dm Am
The Captain's mind was not of greed
Am
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed,
E Am
She took the ship in tow
[Chorus]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
[Verse 5]
Am
For forty days, or even more
Dm Am
The line went slack, then tight once more
Am
All boats were lost (there were only four)
E Am
But still that whale did go
[Chorus]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
[Verse 6]
Am
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on,
Dm Am
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
Am
The Wellerman makes his regular call
Dm Am
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[Chorus] 2x
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
E Am
We’ll take our leave and go
