\begin{song}[remember-chords]{title={Wellerman}, music={Nathan Evans}, lyrics={Nathan Evans}}
\begin{verse}
Th^{Am}ere once was a ship that put to sea \\
The ^{Dm}name of the ship was the ^{Am}Billy O' Tea \\
The ^{Am}winds blew up, her bow dipped down \\
Oh ^{E}blow, my bully boys, ^{Am}blow (huh) \\
\end{verse}
\begin{refren}
^{F}Soon may the ^{C}Wellerman come \\
To ^{Dm}bring us sugar and ^{Am}tea and rum \\
^{F}One day, when the ^{C}tonguing is done \\
We'll ^{E}take our leave and ^{Am}go \\
\end{refren}
\begin{verse}
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) \\
\end{verse}
\begin{refren}
\end{refren}
\begin{verse}
Be^fore 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 be^low (huh) \\
\end{verse}
\begin{refren}
\end{refren}
\begin{verse}
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) \\
\end{verse}
\begin{refren}
\end{refren}
\begin{verse}
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 (huh) \\
\end{verse}
\begin{refren}
\end{refren}
\begin{verse}
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 (huh) \\
\end{verse}
