**Chords:**
C  G  F  C

C               G
There once was a ship that put to sea
F                C
And the name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea
C                  G
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
F                C
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow

C               G
Soon may the Wellerman come
F                C
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
C                  G
One day, when the tonguin' is done
F                C
We'll take our leave and go

C               G
She'd not been two weeks from shore
F                 C
When down on her, a right whale bore
C                   G
The captain called all hands and swore
F                  C
He'd take that whale in tow

C               G
Soon may the Wellerman come
F                C
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
C                  G
One day, when the tonguin' is done
F                C
We'll take our leave and go
