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
