"Sea Shanty Medley" lyrics

"Sea Shanty Medley"

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh!)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

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!)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
What will we do with a drunken sailor?
Earl-eye in the morning

Put him in the brig until he sobers
Put him in the brig until he sobers
Put him in the brig until he sobers
Earl-eye in the morning

Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Earl-eye in the morning

Oh, the wind was foul and the sea ran high
"Leave her, Johnny, leave her!"
She shipped it green and none went by
And it's time for us to leave her

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

Them Cape Cod ships ain't got no sails
Haul away, haul away
They'd all blown off in the Northeast gales
And we're bound away for Australia

So heave her up me bully, bully boys
Haul away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you make a noise
And we're bound away for Australia

Hey! Santiana gained a day
Away Santiana
"Now!-poleon of the West", they say
Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew
Away Santiana
And an old salty yank for a captain too
Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

Santiana fought for gold
Away Santiana
Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow
Along the plains of Mexico

Well, heave 'er up and away we'll go
Away Santiana
Heave 'er up and away we'll go
Along the plains of Mexico

So leave her Johnny off we'll go
The drunken sailor Wellerman whaler
Bound away for Mexico
