I got bored of reading and decided to pull out my guitar, and play Wellerman. One my favorite songs.
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing 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 tonguing 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
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing 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
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and gob
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go...I look up to see everyone staring at me.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" I asked.
"No you did something beautiful" Ben said.
"Yeah I never new you could sing like that n/n" Kenji replied using the old nickname he gave me when we met.
Then there was everyone else saying that I sounded really good, and played very well.
"Thanks you guys" I said scratching the back of my neck, while looking at the ground thinking wow that carpet looks really nice, sarcastically of course. I'm not used to people liking my voice when I sing. Normally when I would play for the people in the lab whilst on lunch break they would boo me out or call me annoying.
❤︎ Ben's POV ❤︎
(Bet you didn't see that coming)I looked at y/n, the first thing that comes to mind when I see or think of her is that one meme that goes like "she is beauty, she is grace, she shall kick you in your face". You know the one I'm talking about... right? Well she reminds me of that. Graceful, but could smite you in an instant.
🤍Back to Y/N's POV🤍
After everyone had dissipated, I put up everything. Only to turn around and run face first into... Ben?
"What are you still in here for Ben?" I asked with a little more venom then meant to be.
"OhHhh! I'm so sorry I wanted to move but I couldn't. You see my legs just didn't want to move, and-" I cut him off.
"Ben it's fine you just scared me a little bit." I said.
Then we both turned around and went to the kitchen for some food.
I am so sorry for not updating. School started back up again and you know writers block. But I'm here with a tiny update. Also the song 👩🍳💋 chefs kiss!
