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 |
