Verse 1ThGere oDnce was a ship that put to sAmea
And the name of that sBmhip was the Billy o' TGea
The winds blew hDard, her bow dipped dAmown
BBmlow, me bully boys, blGow (Hah!)ChorusSGoon may the WelDlerman come

OGne day, when the tDonguin' is done
We'll tAmake our lBmeave and Ggo Verse 2SGhe had not been two wDeeks from shore
When dAmown on her, a rBmight whale bore
The caGptain called all hDands and swore
He'd tAmake that wBmhale in tGow (Hah!)ChorusSGoon may the WelDlerman come
To brAming us sugar and Bmtea and rum
OGne day, when the tDonguin' is done
We'll tAmake our lBmeave and Ggo Verse 3BefGore the boat had hDit the water
