Wellerman Lyrics
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
O blow, my bully boys, blow
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

It's only one song, wait till he comes out with more before making opinions. Don't get me wrong I'm not hating, cuz this song does slap. There's just so many song artists that get flak because they were one hit wonders
soon ill be one of those lucky ppl idk yet
Not only you but us too who discovered his talent.

I am black and I approve this song and message. Thank you bro.
You know someone is truly talented when all you need is your voice and some drumming. Simple and absolutely amazing.

No extra bells and whistles. No need to speed it up. Just perfect as is!
I agree!
Facts
Bells = Nope
Whistles = No way
Flares = Heck yeah!
@@dorianvey6675 The flare is probably the modern way the Wellerman would make its daily call.
No added acapella?
I love how the music is only made from a guitar flipped around and used as a drum, but better than any music in the world.
Scottish accent, gives chills when sang.
Am Scottish in aberdeen
An airdrie accent
I live in England by Liverpool but im not scouse I live 20 minutes away from the city centre anyways my mums new bf is Scottish and he always sings this

This song originates from New Zealand in the 1830s the only reason we know it today is because a musician released it in the 1960s after learning it from his uncle (fun fact the song was released the same day whaling was banned in New Zealand)😊
lets go Whaling :)
Jes
U be spitting facts
Thanks for feeding my need of random facts
Ok 😮
Beautiful song. We need more songs like this one. New generations need to listen to this type of music, with lyrics related to stories of their ancestors, a mix between modern and traditional rhythms. Please write and sing one telling a story from Culloden battle. Greetings from Quebec,Canada.
Even in 2024 we don't forget the legends..

It's my first time to listen this song, I like the rhythm.
My 4 yr old son loves this song. Kept playing this and singing this. Now I'm hooked as well! 😂
My 3 yr old grandaughter can sing every word of this shanty she loves it , brilliant !!!
It’s actually a folk song
Our autistic daughter found this song herself and listened to it over and over again... It was our first time seeing her actually respond to something that she decided to like on her own... So simple and pure that everyone gravitates to it after first listening... She still listens to it over a year later... I figured I'd share this with y'all...
Does your daughter feel better when she listens to this song?
This is so sweet 🥰

Am I the only one that listens to this song over and over
Finally someone who understands how to play a guitar.

Hopefully you don’t hit too much or smth
Finally a song I can attempt to play with my bass clarinet
Yes, I’m play right now 😂

This man just took the back of his guitar, his voice and made a masterpiece out of this
yeah you know that this song is over 100 years old ?
He didn't "make" anything. This song has been around for hundreds of years, and he just made it popular.
Yea
It was already a song he stole it...

@@jin_notfound5820 u know its like a 1800 century song by British sailors
Literally happy it’s technically acapella, currently listening to this during the Omer
I like that he isnt even playing the guitar but just taps on it.
Who say you need to be good at playing guitar to make a music.
It is a very distinctive sound
It makes a nice beat
@fahzala hai So! Who Gives A Fuck
Well, technically he's playing it.
do you know how to play guitar?
Nathan: yes
also Nathan:
Slaps it
LMAOO
Davie504 would approve.
Pfp :)
In Albania we say "di si ti BIESH kitarës?" That means "you know how to HIT the guitar?"
lol- yeah I cant play guitar i wou;d just slam it xD
This was a good Era of the Internet
We need more songs like this one. Beautiful.
I refuse to believe this song released less then a year ago. It feels ancient, golden and I feel like I’ve been known it for decades how??
From what I've read, it's an old song, from the 1800's, but recently remade and released.
It's a New Zealand whaling song from the 1800's about the Wellerman company, who had resupply ships that serviced the whaling fleets in the area, allowing them to extend their ranges and also the lengths of their hunts.
The style of the tune is as old as the song itself, and is reminiscent to your average shanty or pirate song. Likely, your brain is catching the similarities and rightfully saying the song itself is old as dirt.
probably because it stirs something deep in your soul, just the sea itself (or maybe that's just me - I have seafarers on all sides of my family)
Mandela👀
I wish Disney would see this and add him in the pirates of the Caribbean
YEEEES
AND BRING JOHNNY DEPP BACK
Me:
Dude this is Pirates of the Caribbean
IKR
I can imagine a ship leaving the dock after a sad scene and we see this man singing as he sinks in the ocean
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW : hears this song. ahh this is stupid
also him : hears the word RUM, this is da best song in the world. Now let me go and get some of the good stuff real quick.
I always wanted to be a pirate 🏴☠️
HE ATE AND LEFT NO CRUMBS
I have one week to memorize this song and sing it with a perfect Scottish accent
look up the lyrics, and visualise the words with all you can, do that with one part of the song, and then the next part, and so fouth.
Good luck bro
Good luck
I'd suggest listening to a lot of Scottish people on a video. It actually helps encapsulate the accent inside your head and it starts to come to you naturally after that just learning how to get the pronunciation of some words down in Scottish.
Good luck hope you do well
I am from Kazakhstan. Have never seen a sea with my eyes. Only endless steppes, seas of land. And I love these sea shanties.
You will see a sea one day my friend
The Ocean is wonderful - though I also have not seen it for 40 years - :(
In from the Netherlands an I have never seen a proper mountian
Songs are just land shanties

No autotune, no instrumental
Yup that's a real legend
I personally think that with instrumental it is faster and more big of a show, but without instrumental it is still fire!
I like instrumental
The only thing besides lyrics is *thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*
Agreed. Listen up folks. This is what heart and talent sounds like.
any and all songs have some form of autotune, it's not always drastically used like the mumble rap and singers where you can hear it turned right up... some, like this song, uses a subtle bit to slightly enhance vocals, as does most songs.
Her: “do you play the guitar?”
Me: “yea but not in the way you would think”
Thats true
“Nah I bang the guitar”

This needs to be the theme song of a show on Netflix. This has the witcher written all over it. But the witcher already has a banger
Or they should have the longest johns one.
Or better in the next pirates of the Caribbean now that Johnny is bk in it
@@gamerversemeggyanddesti he's not back in it though?
Would be a good theme for an HBO show on the voyage of the Essex, that could be fun, until you know, the crew started eating each other.
It should be a pirate show

it is rlly nice the qaulity is rly good too!

Lol he made made music in an unconventional way. When whalers and pirates didn't have instruments they used their feet to keep rhythm and their voices to create melodies. I'm not saying this to shit on you rather maybe change the way you perceive music.
The auto tune kinda ruins it though
@@jacobthemaster66 it wasn't auto tune bud lol. What he did was layer his vocals with different harmonies. Pretty much he recorded himself a few times and put all the recordings over eachother to give the effect more than one person was singing the hook.
