[00:00.00]作词 : Unknown
[00:10.84]There once was a ship that put to sea
[00:13.57]And the name of that ship was the Billy O'Tea
[00:16.15]The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
[00:18.88]Blow, me bully boys, blow
[00:21.25]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:23.74]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:26.38]One day when the tonguing is done
[00:28.75]We'll take our leave and go
[00:32.59]She had not been two weeks from shore
[00:35.17]When down on her right a right whale bore
[00:37.69]The captain called all hands and swore
[00:40.24]He'd take that whale in tow
[00:42.67]Soon may the Wellerman come
[00:45.25]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[00:47.89]One day when the tonguing is done
[00:50.17]We'll take our leave and go
[00:54.04]Before the boat had hit the water
[00:56.62]The whale's tail came up and caught her
[00:59.29]Hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
[01:01.81]When she dived below
[01:04.18]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:06.70]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:09.37]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:11.65]We'll take our leave and go
[01:15.37]No line was cut, no whale was freed
[01:17.92]An' the captain's mind was not on greed
[01:20.74]He belonged to the Whaleman's creed
[01:23.20]She took that ship in two
[01:25.66]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:28.15]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:30.82]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:33.10]We'll take our leave and go
[01:37.21]For forty days or even more
[01:39.52]The line went slack then tight once more
[01:42.19]All boats were lost, there were only four
[01:44.59]And still that whale did go
[01:47.14]Soon may the Wellerman come
[01:49.63]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[01:52.30]One day when the tonguing is done
[01:54.67]We'll take our leave and go
[01:58.06]As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
[02:01.06]The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
[02:03.88]The Wellerman makes his regular call
[02:05.89]To encourage the captain, crew and all
[02:08.59]Soon may the Wellerman come
[02:11.11]To bring us sugar and tea and rum
[02:13.75]One day when the tonguing is done
[02:16.15]We'll take our leave and go
