Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Bully of Tea
The winds blew up our bowed up dino below My bully boys blow
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
In two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands in spore He ticked our whale in two
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water The whale still came up and caught her
All hands to the side harping in fodder When she dived down low
No lane cut, no whale's feed The captain's main was not of greed
He belonged to the whaling spree She checked that ship in tow
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguing is done We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water The whale still came up and caught her
All hands to the side harping in fodder When she dived down low
For forty days or even more The lane went slack and tight once more
All boats were lost never only four But still the whale did go
Soon may the weatherman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the Tongan is done, we'll take her leaving
Soon be the woman come to bring her sugar and tea and rum
One day when the Tongan is done, we'll take her leaving
Soon be the woman come to bring her sugar and tea and rum
One day when the Tongan is done, we'll take her leaving
