    This sea shanty tells the story of a whaling ship called the Wellerman. While at sea, the ship encounters a whale that rams the vessel. The captain calls for the crew to take the whale and tow it. The song expresses the crew's hope that the Wellerman supply ship will soon arrive, bringing sugar, tea, and rum. Once the whaling is done, the crew will take their leave.
