Daby shanty

There once was a man half Manatee

The name of the man was wally Daby

The winds blew up, he bowed down deep

Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

In silk will the Wetherman come

To bring us salt and honey and rum

One day, when the tonguing is done

He’ll take the lead and go find home

She’d not been two weeks(years?) shore

When across her back right-left wing borned

Wallaby did do call back upon sores

He’d sent that whale to shore (huh)

Soon may the Weatherman come

To bring us salt and milk and rum

2 days, the tonguing is done

He’ll take our lead 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

A day when the Wereman comes hell use his feet to wipe your soul.

Before the boat had hit the water

The fog came up and caught her

All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh(hu)hu)))

Soon may the Weather may come
To bring us and and rum
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 many the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar tea and cum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We’ll take our leave and go

Dabyda dabyda-byda
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-daby-da-da-daby-da-da-da

Am I a genius yet? (HEY)
