Tabs + Lyrics:
3 6 6 6 1° 3° 3° 3°
There once was a ship that put to sea
2° 3° 4° 2° 2° 4° 6° 3° 3°
The name of the ship was Billy of Tea
6 6 6 1° 3° 3° 3°
The winds blew up, here bow dipped down
3° 3° 2° 1° 7 6
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow kalimbatabs.net
6° 6° 4° 5° 3° 3°
Soon may the Wellerman Come
3° 4° 2° 2° 4° 6° 3° 3°
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
6° 6° 4° 5° 3° 3°
One day, when the tonguing is done
3° 3° 2° 1° 7 6
We’ll take our leave and go
