คอร์ด เนื้อเพลง Wellerman - The Longest Johns Chordza
There once was a ship that put to sea And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down O blow, my bully boys, blow
* Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done, We’ll take our leave and go
She had 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
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 below
No line was cut, no whale was freedThe Captain's mind was not of greed
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed She took the ship in tow
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
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
