歌词
There once was a ship that put to sea
从前有艘船扬帆起航
The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
其名为 “比利红茶”号
The winds blew up her bow dipped down
海风来袭 我们降低船首以应对
Blow me bully boys blow huh
吹吧吹吧 任尔如何横我们无惧
Soon may the Wellerman come
再过不久韦勒救星就会到来
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
带给我们糖、茶叶和朗姆酒
One day when the tonguin' is done
当我们处理完所有的鲸鱼脂
We'll take our leave and go
我们就要离开这开始新生活
She had not been two weeks from shore
离开海岸不到两周
When down on her a right whale bore
幸运地和一条裸脊鲸狭路相逢
The captain called all hands and swore
船长召集全员 如此宣誓道
He'd take that whale in tow huh
他会带领我们拖死那条鲸鱼
Soon may the Wellerman come
再过不久韦勒救星就会到来
To bring us sugar and tea and rum

One day when the tonguin' is done

Before the boat had hit the water
捕鲸小船还没放下
The whale's tail came up and caught her
鲸鱼尾已浮现 船员们抓住了她
All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
所有人在船边 用鱼叉和鲸鱼战斗
When she dived down below huh
当她深深潜入海底

The captain's mind was not of greed

In he belonged to the Whaleman's creed

And still that whale did go
