歌词
There once was a ship that put to sea
曾经有这么一艘出海的船
The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
她的大名是“茶壶号”
The winds blew up her bow dipped down
她随风而行 扬帆起航
Blow me bully boys blow huh
吹吧吹吧 尽情地吹吧
Soon may the Wellerman come
要不了多久“茶壶号”就会到了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
她会给我们糖 茶叶和朗姆酒
One day when the tonguin' is done
当捕猎到的鲸鱼处理干净
We'll take our leave and go
我们就能再度出发
She had not been two weeks from shore
她离岸还不到两个礼拜
When down on her a right whale bore
刚好有一只倒霉的鲸鱼钻来钻去
The captain called all hands and swore
船长对所有船员发了誓
He'd take that whale in tow huh
他一定会将这只鲸鱼拖回岸边
Soon may the Wellerman come
要不了多久“茶壶号”就会到了
To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin' is done

Before the boat had hit the water
汹涌的海浪肆虐的拍打
The whale's tail came up and caught her
鲸鱼摇动的尾巴打中了船身
All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
所有的水手都来到甲板 手持鱼叉和它搏斗
When she dived down below huh
于是鲸鱼潜回了深海
Soon may the Wellerman come

In he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

She took that ship in tow huh

For forty days or even more

The line went slack then tight once more
拴住鲸鱼的绳子时紧时松
All boats were lost there were only four

And still that whale did go
但鲸鱼还在
