    Wellerman Song
    Lyrics:
    There once was a ship that put to sea
    The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
    The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
    Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    She'd 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 (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come…
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Before the boat had hit the water
    The whale's tail came up and caught her
    All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
    When she dived down low (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come…
    No line was cut, no whale was freed
    The captain's mind was not of greed
    And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
    She took that ship in tow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come…
    Da-da-da-da-da…
    Soon may the Wellerman come…
    Soon may the Wellerman come…
    For forty days or even more
    The line went slack then tight once more
    All boats were lost, there were only four
    But still that whale did go
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    Da-da-da-da-da…
    Da-da-da-da-da…

      Due to political correctness in my country the so called indigenous population, may find this challenging,we are not encouraged to enjoy our culture.(which apparently doesn't exist).

      Probably only a handful of people realize this is a NZ folk song from the 70's inspired from the Weller brothers (who hailed from England) and in 1831 founded a whaling station in the south island of NZ at the time. Rum was indeed inolved. lol Their employees became known as "wellerman".
