Wellerman - The Longest Johns
[Am]
There once was a ship that put to sea
Dm Am
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
Dm
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Dm E7 Am
Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
|[CHORUS]
|F C
|Soon may the Wellerman come
| Dm Am
|To bring us sugar and tea and rum
|F C
|One day, when the tonguin' is done
| Dm E7 Am
|We'll take our leave and go
Am
She had not been two weeks from shore
Dm Am
When down on her a right whale bore
Dm
The captain called all hands and swore
Dm E7 Am
He'd take that whale in tow (Hah!)
[CHORUS]
Am
Before the boat had hit the water
Dm Am
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
Dm E7 Am
When she dived down below (Huh!)
[CHORUS]
Am
No line was cut, no whale was freed;
Dm Am
The Captain's mind was not on greed
Dm
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
Dm E7 Am
She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[CHORUS]
Am
For forty days, or even more
Dm Am
The line went slack, then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
Dm E7 Am
But still that whale did go
[CHORUS]
Am
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
Dm Am
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
Am Dm
The Wellerman makes his a regular call
Dm E7 Am
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
