歌词
There once was a ship that put to sea

And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea

The winds blew up , her bow dipped down

Blow my bully boys blow(Huh!)
吹吧，使劲吹
Soon may the Wellerman come
过不了多久，“茶壶号”就要来了
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
正好有一只鲸鱼在她下方钻来钻去
The captain called all hands and swore

He'd take that whale in tow(Huh!)

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
