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

LEGEND OF THE SEA
☝
Anyone from 2024??
Я
Hell yeah, I love pirate music!
Yes
yup
I’m slowly turning into a pirate, wanna give up on this cube life and sail away into the sunset and steal chocolate from other boats 😜
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
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.

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.

Authentic beauty. God bless you. 🌺
A legend never dies🥰
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
I’m scottish
Im scottish
"So what Instruments do you want in this song"?
"Just give me the back of a guitar"
He doesn't even need to play the strings
He has mastered every skills of guitar 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
This is all I used to listen to in 2021-2022

This is so fake
For sure

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸
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 🥰
@@hobistinyheartbag 20秒前ww
weird
You know its a parent when they use too much “…”
But in all seriousness, that must be an amazing thing to see as a parent of a neurodiverse kid
Absolute legend
This type of song/melody has already withstood the test of time and now it’s still around but with a modern style and it’s amazing. Music rly is a way to peer into the past.
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.
- I hit my guitar too hard and broke it.
- Soon come the Wellerman to bring a new one.

The song is literally just a simple beat, backing vocals and main vocals, yet it sounds so addicting. You don’t get a lot of famous songs like this anymore. This is a masterpiece.
I love it

We don’t get a lot of famous songs with a simple beat, backing vocals and main vocals
hmmm i would say the pop genre has done that in decades

This song's been on repeat for months and it's still no where near being overplayed. Classic. The guy has the perfect voice for Shanties. GOAT.
Nah it really is being overplayed now
@@RSBritain And yet you clicked on it again. 🤔
@Kacey McGurgan If you go on the wiki page of the song you'll find out that its a well-known whaling song from new zealand and that it was probably written between 1860-1870 by an unknown sailor.
The most popular versions of it are by the Longest Johns and Nathan Evans.
I see no intellectual up here... Other than you...
@Kacey McGurgan what?
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 😮
I’ve been watching black sails and I wanted to hear sea Shanty and clicked first thing that popped up I was not disappointed
Fire song 🔥
- Look, Nathan. This is called a guitar. Strum its strings to make amazing sounds.
- Pound it as a drum, I got it.
Everything's a drum if you're determined enough
He could have used it both ways like Igor Presnyakov.
@@Sam_596 this, this is gold
A guitar has two uses the strum and what he is doing. Alot of people hit their guitar to make a noise if they don't have a drum and that makes a different noise
*sometimes my genius is… it’s almost frightening*
"What instruments do you play"
"Oh, I play the guitar"
- continues to just slam it on the back
@dolita windo old is gold 👍
It's not old, but original version sounds better
this comment is coppied

I tried to learn the guitar once. I couldn't get on with it. Maybe I was just trying to play the wrong side of it! ;)

Hopefully you don’t hit too much or smth

The Fact that this song only have the beat of hitting on a guitar. Im just amazed that there is no other intruments used. HUGE RESPECT TO NATHAN
Even clapping
Sorry dude, but there was no clapping at all
?
sea shantys tend to have no instruments other than a beat, or no beat at all as it was used during work in the age of sail, there was a shantyman and a chorus.

how often do you listen to this song??
me: yeah
I love the song ❤❤❤
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.
Everyone: how good can you play on the guitar?
Nathan: yes
yes
No habló taka taka
