Wellerman (Harris & Ford Remix)
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go...
Take our leave and go-go, lea-leave and go-go
Leave and go, lea, go-go and go-go
Leave and go-go, lea, go-go and
Take our leave and go, lea, go-go and
Take our, our-our
Take our leave and
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her, a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take the whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
The name of that ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go...
Take our leave and go-go, lea-leave and go-go
Leave and go, lea, go-go and go-go
Leave and go-go, lea, go-go and
Take our leave and go, lea, go-go and
Take our, our-our
Take our leave and
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her, a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take the whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
