[Verse]
N.C.                                 
There once was a ship that put to sea
N.C.                                         
And the name of the ship was the Billy o' Tea
N.C.                                   
The winds blew hard her bow dipped down
N.C.                   
Blow my bully boys blow
             Eb7       F7  
Soon may the Wellerman come
            F7                   
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
                          F7     
One day when the tonguin' is done
               F         C 
We'll take our leave and go
C                                  
She'd not been two weeks from shore
             C                     
When down on her a right whale bore
                             F7       
The captain called all hands and swore
                     C7    
He'd take that whale in tow


[Chorus]
F7                         
Soon may the Wellerman come
                  F7             
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
                             Eb7 
One day when the tonguin' is done
F7                   C7    
We'll take our leave and go

What will we do with a drunken sailor
C            Fm     
Early in the morning
    Fm                              
Put him in the brig until he's sober

Put him in the brig until he's sober
F7             G7                   
Put him in the brig until he's sober
F            G7     
Early in the morning
               G7       
Way hay and up she rises
    Eb                  
Way hay and up she rises
F7                 F    
Way hay and up she rises
             F      
Early in the morning
                Ebm                      
Oh the wind was foul and the sea ran high
                 Eb7   Ab7
Leave her Johnny leave her
                     Bb7           Eb7
She shipped it green and none went by 
         Bb7  Gb7       Eb7      
And it's time for us to leave her


[Chorus]
Eb7                       
Leave her Johnny leave her
   Eb7                       
Oh leave her Johnny leave her
        Eb7                                    
For the voyage is long and the winds don't blow
         Eb7                     
And it's time for us to leave her
