Wellerman

Sea Shanty

Capo 3

There Ami once was a ship that put to sea
The Dmi name of the ship was the Ami Billy of Tea
The Ami winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O E blow, my bully boys, Ami blow (Huh!)

R: F Soon may the C Wellerman come
    To Dmi bring us sugar and Ami tea and rum (Hey!)
    F One day, when the C tonguin' is done
    We'll E take our leave and Ami go

When Dmi down on her, a Ami right whale bore
The Ami captain called all hands and swore
He'd E take that whale in Ami tow (Huh!)

R: F C Dmi Ami   F C E Ami

Be Ami fore the boat had hit the water
The Dmi whale's tail came Ami up and caught her
All Ami hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When E she dived down be Ami low (Huh!)

R: F C Dmi Ami   F C E Ami
