[Verse 1]
TheAmre once was a ship that put to sea
And the nDmame of the ship was the AmBilly o' Tea
The wAminds blew hard, her bow dipped down
BElow, me bully boys, bAmlow (huh!)
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and Amtea and rum
FOne day, when the tConguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
[Verse 2]
She Amhad not been two weeks from shore
When dDmown on her a rAmight whale bore
The cAmaptain called all hands and swore
He'd tEake that whale in Amtow (huh!)
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and Amtea and rum
FOne day, when the tConguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
[Verse 3]
BefAmore the boat had hit the water
The whDmale's tail came Amup and caught her
All hAmands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When sEhe dived down belAmow (huh!)
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and tAmea and rum
FOne day, when the Ctonguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
[Verse 4]
No lAmine was cut, no whale was freed;
The CDmaptain's mind was Amnot of greed
But Amhe belonged to the whaleman's creed;
She tEook the ship in tAmow (huh!)
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and tAmea and rum
FOne day, when the Ctonguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
[Verse 5]
For fAmorty days, or even more
The lDmine went slack, then tAmight once more
All bAmoats were lost (there were only four)
But stEill that whale did Amgo
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and tAmea and rum
FOne day, when the Ctonguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
[Verse 6]
As Amfar as I've heard, the fight's still on;
The lDmine's not cut and the wAmhale's not gone
The WAmellerman makes his regular call
To enDmcourage the Captain, cAmrew, and all
[Chorus]
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and tAmea and rum
FOne day, when the Ctonguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo G
SFoon may the WCellerman come
To bDmring us sugar and tAmea and rum
FOne day, when the Ctonguin’ is done,
We’ll tEake our leave and Amgo
