The Wellerman (Nathan Evans) Capo 4 A harp (top hole suck)
[Verse 1]
Am
There was a ship that put to sea,
Dm Am
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
Am
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down,
Em Am
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow.
[Chorus 1]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em 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
Em Am
He’d take that whale in tow.
[Chorus 2]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman com
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em 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
Em Am
When she dived down below.
[Chorus 3]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em 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;
Em Am
She took the ship in tow.
[Chorus 4]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em 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)
Em Am
But still the whale did go.
[Chorus 5]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em Am
We’ll take our leave and go.
[Verse 6]
Am
As far as I know, 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 6]
F C
Soon may the Wellerman come
Dm Am
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
F C
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
Em Am
We’ll take our leave and go. X 2
