The Longest Johns - Wellerman

There o^Amnce was a ship that put to sea And the ^Dmname of that ship was the ^AmBilly o' Tea The winds blew hard, her ^Dmbow dipped down ^DmBlow, me ^E7bully boys, ^Amblow (Huh!)

^FSoon may the We^Cllerman come To br^Dming us sugar and tea^Am and rum O^Fne day, when the tong^Cuin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo

She ^Amhad not been two weeks from shore When ^Dmdown on her a r^Amight whale bore The captain called all ^Dmhands and swore He'd ^Dmtake that ^E7whale in ^Amtow (Hah!)

S^Foon may the We^Cllerman come To b^Dmring us sugar and tea^Am and rum ^FOne day, when the t^Conguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo

Be^Amfore the boat had hit the water The ^Dmwhale's tail came ^Amup and caught her

When ^Dmshe dived ^E7down bel^Amow (Huh!)

^FSoon may the We^Cllerman come T^Dmo bring us sugar and ^Amtea and rum ^FOne day, when the ^Ctonguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo

^AmNo line was cut, no whale was freed; The ^DmCaptain's mind was ^Amnot on greed But he belonged to the ^Dmwhaleman's creed; She ^Dmtook that ^E7ship in ^Amtow (Huh!)

^FSoon may the W^Cellerman come To bri^Dmng us sugar and te^Ama and rum ^FOne day, when the to^Cnguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo

For f^Amorty days, or even more The l^Dmine went slack, then t^Amight once more

But s^Dmtill that ^E7whale did ^Amgo

^FSoon may the W^Cellerman come T^Dmo bring us sugar and t^Amea and rum O^Fne day, when the t^Conguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo

A^Ams far as I've heard, the fight's still on; The ^Dmline's not cut and the ^Amwhale's not gone The ^AmWellerman makes his a r^Dmegular call To enco^Dmurage the ^E7Captain, ^Amcrew, and all

S^Foon may the W^Cellerman come To br^Dming us sugar and t^Amea and rum ^FOne day, when the ^Ctonguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo ^FSoon may the We^Cllerman come To br^Dming us sugar and te^Ama and rum O^Fne day, when the ton^Cguin' is done We'll ^Dmtake our ^E7leave and ^Amgo
