Nathan Evans - Wellerman

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was a billy of tea
The winds blew up her bow, dipped down her blow
My billy boys blow
Soon may the will o' man come
To bring my sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
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 that whale in tow
Soon may the wellerman come
To bring our sugar and tea and rum
