Wellerman Song
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
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd 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 (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come…
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 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 (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come…
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 may the Wellerman come…
Da-da-da-da-da…
Soon may the Wellerman come…
Soon may the Wellerman come…
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 tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da…
Da-da-da-da-da…

The part when the pipes come in, is the best 🤘🤘 🇩🇪
-
Vocals: amazing Bagpipes: ummm yes! Guitar solo: what am I listening to?! This is next level
-
Bagpipes band is an excellent addition to this song
-
One word: Beautiful.
-
What a fantastic version of this song and the female singer is gorgeous 😍
-
Bagpipes gave me the chills!!!
-
Any warrior / sailor will bristle at the war pipes call to all hands on deck!! Great shanty played well.
-
When the pipes come in, I got goosebumps
-
THE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS WHEN THE BAGPIPES MAKE THEIR WAY JUST WOW
-
Wah-haaaaa! This performance is freaking fantastic! The pipers just enhance it in a way I couldn't have imagined, and can't begin to describe how they move me. Thank you all!
-
Yeah I never get sick of this version. It much grander with many voices and an array of instruments!
-
Wellerman is definitely my favourite sea shanty. And the guitars and bagpipes make it even better. 😁
-
Damn, when that bagpipe solo started I got the goosebumps! This version of that song is incredible. I love the energy of everyone on stage.
-
This is one of the first times that I heard the bagpipes fit in so seamlessly and perfectly into a song.👍👍👍👍👍
-
That got my Scottish blood pumping 🏴
-
I can't stop hearing this - love da bagpipes ❤🎉
-
It's weird. Scots, Swedes, Muricans, Brits and many other nationalities are singing Wellerman. But! This song originates from New Zealand and yet we don't hear Kiwis singing it. Maybe they are a bit shy?
-
They have to be the strangest looking instrument you've ever seen, but bagpipes have such a unique and beautiful sound. Heaing the Weller man played on bagpipes actually gave me goosebumps. Such an awesome version!
-
Having been a sailor....so I gotta love this song!! Thanks for posting!!
