There once was a ship that put to sea Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (Huh!)
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse 2]
She had 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 (Hah!)
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse 3]
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 below (Huh!)
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse 4]
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The Captain's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (Huh!)
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
[Verse 6]
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 a regular call
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all
[Chorus]
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

you may have been a pirate in your past life 😃
This song makes me nostalgic and reminds me of those mornings when I look at the ocean and think about my husband that disappeared at sea twenty years ago. Except I'm 24, never been married, and live eight hours away from the nearest ocean beach.
Wow.
memories from past life then ;)
Maybe you should see someone about this? XD
sorry to hear this. i hope you are okay
got us in the first half not gonna lie
this makes me remember my 40 years as a sailor. even though im 19 and ive never been on a boat and dont want to.
Hearing this song makes me think I’ve been a sailor for 15 years.
Wait you`ve been a sailor for 15 years
😒😒just saying I havent!!
Me too, and I've never been a sailor! Ha!

Thank you for making the lyrics appear on the screen before the line comes up in the singing! It’s so different from other lyrics videos and so convenient!
true
Indeed, it makes you more ready to switch to the next lyrics
@@sovithesecond3975nmy
yeah it makes singing along very easy
If you're listening to this in 2024 and you see this comment, you have a good taste in music
Nice
It's so weird people watch this in 2025
انا من 2024
But if you looked up this music in 2023, you have really bad taste in music!😉
Thank you 😊
"unconsciously stamping my feet"
LOVE THIS MUSIC IT'S GIVING ME THE PIRATE VIBE
Same- but my legs over the edge of my bed so its stamping air lol
Same iam like going crazy
Lol
That's because it is a pirate song.
It’s because of the base
And this giving me ✨pirate✨ vibes
yeah a bit
Me too even amazing me made a pirate hat
And maybe I will make a pirate ship
SAMEEE
@@margitbereze6915 yeah same maybe though don't spend all your time doing it
Soon may the wellerman come to bring us sugar and tea and cum
This hits my soul….. I will play this for my Grandbabies so the will feel our heritage via music/song
😊
🎉
I feel the unnecessary urge to learn this song
Same
Bruh same
😂
same
It's so necessary ✌
The lines are simple
The music is simple
His voice is sweet
The VIBE is Great 🔥,
The Winds blew up
Her bow deep down
Oh blow my bully boys, blow
This song is terrible the voice is annoying the drummer took no effort doing this the lyrics are terrible its cringy overrated
@@akshay-jr1qz you tryna make this sus 😂
Luv it
Sooo good
Got this bookmarked...the harmonies are so tight and in tune...could listen to it endlessly
After hearing this song i feel confident i can walk into the forest cut down some trees and make my way to the shore line and craft my own ship and set sail and spend the remainder of my days at sea with no problems.
Do that when the medieval age comes back after the next big bang
I have been a sailor for more then 6 years now and one thing I have learned is
That when the ships were made of wood men were made of steel.
And this song brings the same vibe ✌️
I have too
Do you guys sing this song on boat😂
When boats were made of wood men were made of steel. Can i borrow that mate? Is so well thought
Awesome
Mate i'm pretty sure when boats were made of wood man were also made of wood, now that ships are made of steel men are made of fabric.
why have I never heard of this song but it's still feels nostalgic?
😁😁 Sane here
Anemoia
Me too

@Jessira shadowblood this is the whole song....
A great nostalgic song with a dark savage history!
I love this song🎵🎵
Like someone said….
0% Violence
0% naked girls
0% Racism
100% Sugar, tea and rum
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is true
@@judyhylton6954 , first of all, tea can mostly from China not Africa or African slaves.. as a matter of fact, One of the main reasons that the UK controlled Hong Kong was so the UK could have access to Tea....
Secondly, Sugarcane originated in India and Southeast Asia and they have produced most of the worlds sugar.
Rum also originated in India, which was made from sugar cane...
lastly, this song does not have any connotation to African slavery and whoever reads it like that is just looking for a reason to complain about past histories.
This song is different from current music like rap which explicitly belittles women and encourages violence....
It would be completely different if this song talked about women as bitches and whores and would talk about races in a derogatory way...
I understand that you want to continue being a victim and a martyr, but do it where its warranted not by wishing it to be true when that's the farthest from reality...
100% Diabetes lol
It’s 2022 so by default it’s racist to somebody
Btw.... I replayed this like 19 times already
Only 19?
Ik
🙄 Keep going. You may one day catch up with the rest of us.
19?
I did 300
Lol
Listening it for the first time!! And it still feels nostalgic!! How come😊
I miss the old memories
Fun fact my great great great great grandfather was a crew member of a pirate ship
Wow!!, maybe he hided something that's makes me excited!!
@Ethan Sings and Plays Piano lol
If have plan to go to sea and rule just call me
Guys it’s absolutely fake I call cap
cool!
I'm obsessed with the vocal harmonies.
Listen to some georgian choir. It's unbelievable. One of the songs was included in the "Golden Record", in a time capsule, that was sent to space, containing everything great humanity has to offer.
Give it a little try. If you love harmony, you'll definitely love it.
Me to bro its so good
Yes to me the best part of music is clean lyrics and good tempo I don't understand the wordless music. It makes good background sound but invokes no emotion in me. I love classic Disney songs because they're family friendly and light hearted even the villain songs are free of bad language.
But this is wonderful in it's own right I love harmonizing voices and me and my sister used to sing songs together when when were younger I miss that. We don't see much of each other anymore we still talk all the time over text/ call but it's not the same but we live too far away to meet up that often. If we meet halfway it's 1 hour one way to the meetup point so 2 hours drive time in decent traffic. If traffic is busy it takes longer
2024 Anyone?
Yeah I’m from 2024
Hello:D

Yes I am sure that I was in 2024

This song popped into my head this morning,for no reason,became an ear worm so I had to look it up for the lyrics so at least I'd be able to sing it instead of just humming the tune.😊
Same experience lol!

This brings back memories
POV : you're the pirate's daughter watching him and all the people going about their jobs on the ship
Pirate's son*
Whats pov?
@undertale lover I mean historical how many pirates were females. Actually I'm not sure but I doubt it was a majority.
Nah im just enjoying the song
@@randomname1875 The most powerful pirate in history was in fact a woman called Zheng Yisao with 1800 ships in her fleet.
this song is kinda have a hidden message. it makes everyone feels the same. like we have some kind of memory in the past that we all dont remember.
What? No.
Same
I thought the same, does anyone know?
@@Dan-xx5jq The repeated line about hoping for the wellerman to come bringing sugar and tea and rum cutting through the fight for survival. This is a summary of how until modern times people would be content to just not have to do anything for some time, the greatest joy/form of entertainment something that we don't often think about now.
@@Noah-rm5bu does that mean they didn't work as hard as we do today?
Yes, we take a lot for granted. If we feel a sugar tooth coming we just rush down to the 7-11 and get a candy bar. 😆
0:08 this song makes me feel calm and get up and buy my own boat and go adventuring for 20 years
Wow.. a video on Tik-tok brought me here a guy punching a window to this beat 😂
This lives in my head rent free. How can such a simple song evoke such nostalgia?
Ikr not you alone
wtf ,what nostalgia 😅
It’s not so simple I guess

Edit: it's indescribable
I imagine a pirate singing this song wile banging his head on the railing of the ship
I started humming this in class and some how my bestie knew this song and started to sing it so we started singing together 😂❤️ She is the best

Ya bro
Can we all appreciate how Nathan Evans can make a story and a song at the same time✨
He’s a legend ❤️
It's an Sea shanty from NZ from the 1960's. He did not wrire it just made a remix. A good one, but not original.
@@Freeo4th it is actually much older it dates back as far back as the mid to late 1860s, 'Wellermen' being the fishermen employed by The Weller Brothers, who at the time were known across NZ as some of the first european settlers of the Otago Region. the song itself simply was not collected for publishing until 1966, and since had had MANY different covers. just a little history lesson for you all.
I love this song especially when it's rain it reminds me the song
When i want to be an annoying person😂 i put this song XD😂😂and starts singing SOOOOO loud😂💀
I don’t know why but this song makes me happy 😊
Because the tea, sugar and rum and on its way!
Because it's Adventure

The only song that doesn't need music. This means that singers can sing without music ... we need nice voice and good words and we find the results.
Why do I feel like I’m about to bring some spirits in the house singing this😂😂
it gives you goosbumbs, its so good, this my fav song because i only know 3 🤣

What’s so great about this song is that it doesn’t need music to be catchy

The composition it is!
I just heard of this song today and it already feels NOSTALGIC
My leg was dancing
This song make you want to discover the sea 😅
I was in a Peter Pan production once and we used this song when the hook and the pirates first showed up.
I don't know how but like many people I feel that this song makes me feel something as if I had heard it before, the voice of the people who sing it and the rhythm, it's incredible...
Btw I've been listening to this song in many Facebook videos and that made me want to find it more eagerly, love the whole song.

@@Leptyzz I'm sorry to do so. I wish music was more authentic than what is, but it typically isn't. Think of it like photoshopped models and celebrities in magazines, but since it's not visible, it's seemingly easier to conceal.
