Great version ;) Fun fact: This is a sea ballad from New Zealand from c. 1860-70. The song refers to the "wellermen", being the supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were amongst the earliest European settlers of Otago (South Island, New Zealand). The supply ships would bring the sugar, tea, rum, spirits, tobacco and clothes that made up the "wages" for the crew. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellerman

@@marykay8587 Centuries old would be an overstatement, a Wellerman would be a supply ship run by the Weller brothers, who's company was founded in 1831 and became one of the larger players in whaling and trade in New Zealand, however, by 1840 the whale population in the area was in a decline, and if I recall correctly, the company would go out of business at that time. Which means the story the song narrates would have to be set to that rather limited time frame. The song itself is apparently thought to be from the 1860s or 70s, though.

Exceptionally Wonderful! Malinda really delivers with her beautiful feminine voice. Add in her voice/video tracks producing such a lovely performance.

I saw the Wellerman a few days ago. I loved it. I was saying to myself I would like a new Malinda video. And Malinda makes a new video, singing the Wellerman. Wow. Thank you 💙

Thank you for your great cover!

[@a.duncan6791]

I can't believe I just watched a commercial and sort of enjoyed it. The sludge and poop that is our commercial wasteland needs to be taken behind the barn and shot. You, dear, are a breath of fresh air. You even through in a few shuffle steps proving your relevance. The lyrics, the editing, your vice and knowing it was bit tongue in cheek all added to the enjoyment. Thanks...

Life is now better because of you, young lady.
