\nThe name of the ship was the Billy of Tea<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe winds blew up, her bow dipped down<\/strong><\/span>
\nO b-low, my bully boys, blow<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhen down on her a right whale bore<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe captain called all hands and swore<\/strong><\/span>
\nHe’d take that whale in tow, huh!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nDa-da dat da da-da da dat da<\/strong><\/span>
\nDa da da-da dat da<\/strong><\/span>
\nDa-da dat da dat da<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe wha-le’s tail came up and caught her<\/strong><\/span>
\nAll hands to the side, harpooned and fought her<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen she dived down low<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe captain’s mind was not of greed<\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd he belonged to the whaleman’s creed<\/strong><\/span>
\nShe took that ship in tow<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nDa-da dat da da-da da dat da<\/strong><\/span>
\nDa da da-da dat da<\/strong><\/span>
\nDa-da dat da dat da<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe line went slack, then tight once more<\/strong><\/span>
\nAll boats were lost (there were only four)<\/strong><\/span>
\nBut still that whale did go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nThe line’s not cut and the whale’s not gone<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe Wellerman makes his regular call<\/strong><\/span>
\nTo encourage the Captain, crew, and all<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo bring us sugar and tea and rum<\/strong><\/span>
\nOne day, when the tonguin\u2019 is done,<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe\u2019ll take our leave and go<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
