Wellerman/Drunken Sailor Medley
There [Am] once was a ship that put to sea
And the [Dm] name of the ship was the [Am] Billy of Tea
The [Am] winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh [E7] blow, me bully boys, [Am] blow huh
Chorus:
[F] Soon may the [C] Wellerman come
To [Dm] bring us sugar and [Am] tea and rum
[F] One day, when the [C] tonguin' is done
We'll [E7] take our leave and [Am] go
[Am] She'd not been two weeks from the shore
When [Dm] down on her a [Am] right whale bore
The [Am] captain called all hands and swore
He'd [E7] take that whale in [Am] tow huh
Chorus:
[F] Soon may the [C] Wellerman come
To [Dm] bring us sugar and [Am] tea and rum

We'll [E7] take our leave and [Am] go
