    In typical 19th century fashion the worst deprivations of a whalers life at sea are as understated in the chorus as the harmony. A good song rooted in the history of the first years of New Zealand, It makes me wonder why hipsters and tik tok girls glommed onto it. I hope a few of them learn something from it too.

    There once was a ship that put to sea,
    The Black Pearl, the pride of the Caribbean.
    She's a fast ship, and a well armed one,
    A pirate's life for you and me!
    (Chorus)
    Yo ho, hoist the colors high!
    Heave ho, thieves and beggars never shall die!
    Let's set sail and roam the seas,
    And live a life of piracy!
    We'll pillage and plunder, and drink our rum,
    We'll fight and we'll win, and then we'll run,
    We'll steal the treasure and make a name,
    And our legend will never be tamed!
    (Chorus)
    Yo ho, hoist the colors high!
    Heave ho, thieves and beggars never shall die!
    Let's set sail and roam the seas,
    And live a life of piracy!!
    So come aboard, ye brave and bold,
    And let's seek fortune and glory untold,
    We'll live our lives with no regrets,
    And never forget the pirate's code!
    (Chorus)
    Yo ho, hoist the colors high!
    Heave ho, thieves and beggars never shall die!
    Let's set sail and roam the seas,
    And live a life of piracy!!!

      the jediman
      There once was a spaceship that put to space
      And the name of the spaceship was the millennium falcon
      The engines blow up dip down
      Blow my bully boys blow
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      We’’ll take our leave and go
      She had not been two weeks from shore
      When down on her a right sith bore
      The master called all hans and swore
      He take that sith in tow
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      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 da da da da da
      Before the ship had hit the planet
      The sith’s saber came up and caught her
      Hands to the side, shoot and fought her
      When she jump down low
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      We’ll take our leave and go
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      We’ll take our leave and go
      No ship was cut
      No sith was freed
      And the yoda’s mind was not on greed
      But he belonged to the sithman creed
      She took that spaceship in tow
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      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 da da da da da
      For 40 days or even more
      The planet went slack then damaged once more
      All ship were lost (there were only 4)
      But still that sith did go
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      We’ll take pur leave and go
      As far i’ve heard the war is still on
      The ships not cut
      And the sith is not gone
      The jediman make his regular quote to encourage the master students and all
      Soon may the jediman come
      To bring us lessons and saber and quote
      One day when we won the war
      We’ll take pur leave and go
      Soon may the jediman come

    While I do enjoy Nathan Evans' version a bit more than this one, it would be wrong of me not to give this song the credit that it rightfully deserves, as it definitely feels more like a proper sea shanty, compared to Mr Evans' version that acts more like a ballad with a few shanty elements.

      a wellerman was a man under the employ of weller brothers, their job was to supply whaler crews. tonguing means that the crew were cutting the whale's tongue for the oil contained, this oil was mainly used in lamp oil.
