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…

Bagpipes gave me the chills!!!

[@AndieArbeit]

Bagpipes band is an excellent addition to this song

[@EvanescenceFan27]

That got my Scottish blood pumping 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@btf_flotsam478]

Nothing like a New Zealand folk song to get you into the spirit of playing Rugby Union, right?

[@terryelks-op3jk]

What a fantastic version of this song and the female singer is gorgeous 😍

[@Mahan_Mousavi_85]

As an Iranian, I don't know anything about the history of Scotland, but I know that the brave people of Scotland are brave like lions and beautiful like nature.

[@mayrameloquiroga9498]

In fact, the song is from New Zealand.. the wellermans was the whalers who fish on the shore, not in the ships

[@maryusa8526]

This is one of the first times that I heard the bagpipes fit in so seamlessly and perfectly into a song.👍👍👍👍👍

[@td4068]

I must say i was a little bit diasspointet. i exceptet more backpipes. Check out the version Saltatio Mortis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGavaJWCitZ6gK8 This has much more backpipes in the song with only 1 backpipe player.

[@maryusa8526]

@@td4068 WOW! Thanks. Saltatio band sounds like real seamen. Like a lot of commenters mentioned.

[@GonzalezAndrewD]

Vocals: amazing Bagpipes: ummm yes! Guitar solo: what am I listening to?! This is next level

[@Dutyseeker]

The part when the pipes come in, is the best 🤘🤘 🇩🇪

[@JHVermaat]

I also like the guitar solo.

[@harrybarrow6222]

Wellerman is definitely my favourite sea shanty. And the guitars and bagpipes make it even better. 😁

[@USCG.Brennan]

Having been a sailor....so I gotta love this song!! Thanks for posting!!

[@emiljohansen1109]

I can't stop hearing this - love da bagpipes ❤🎉

[@michaelgaley9532]

Any warrior / sailor will bristle at the war pipes call to all hands on deck!! Great shanty played well.

[@jonash6070]

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.

[@68MalKontent]

Exactly 👍👍👍 I'm usually not a huge fan of bagpipes, but this was absolutely the best use of that instrument I've heard in years. They sound amazing, powerful and bring a huge smile to my face. The guitar solo that follows is great too. Absolutely loved this performance ❤️

[@fishmut]

@@68MalKontent disagree man bagpipes are famous around the world , they kick ass , just like they did in the wellerman and many other beautiful songs to appreciate , I find it funny how people comment and don’t like ie bagpipes in the video but they watch it then comment and it literally sais it in the video headline.

[@68MalKontent]

@@fishmut I find it funny how people can't be arsed to read a comment in full and comprehend it, hallucinate someone's opinion and then disagree with it. 🙄

[@Carolinejoyamico]

Bagpipes date back to at least Nebuchadnezzar. Crazy… And I love ‘em.

[@nancysilvernail5802]

Just no words! Fantastic!

[@patriciab7137]

One word: Beautiful.

[@WarDog793]

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!

[@miach87]

Just curious....has ANYone told y'all how completely AWESOME y'all are?!? ❤ I had an uncle who hit those reeeeeaaaally low notes, too - 😮 (He was also GREAT at telling us kids --cousins-- really SPOOKY tales - he gave us all the shivers with that voice!!! 🤪 ) 🤣 .....yeah, I can now laugh and enjoy those memories back over 40 yrs ago. ❤🎉😂 What fun we had! 😳 Thanks to all y'all for sharing your beautiful gifts to everyone - and, for my memories!! ❤

[@TheFrankieMcMurphy]

THE FUCKING GOOSEBUMPS WHEN THE BAGPIPES MAKE THEIR WAY JUST WOW

[@richardkitzer346]

Yeah I never get sick of this version. It much grander with many voices and an array of instruments!

[@falcorob7]

When the pipes come in, I got goosebumps

Same with me, I get goosebumps everytime I hear bagpipe music..

[@amourdesplantes696]

vous êtes magique

[@SpammingY-pp2ru]

Bagpipes are the second best instrument, next to the human voice. Just TRY to convince me otherwise.

[@rebekahbrooks2615]

I wouldn't dream of it!

[@emiljohansen1109]

Agre-idely-ed

[@miach87]

Emmm... maybe the bagpipes aren't QUITE second - (depending on how great the musician is?) possibly ties with the voice a tad?? ... maybe, possibly?!?! 😅

[@davidcastella4991]

From New Zealand✳️.... TO the rest of the WORLD 🌊🌊

[@chrisfischer7956]

Probably only a handful of people realize this is a NZ folk song from the 70's inspired from the Weller brothers (who hailed from England) and in 1831 founded a whaling station in the south island of NZ at the time. Rum was indeed inolved. lol Their employees became known as "wellerman".

[@PDohm123]

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!

[@redebatcheller5761]

Excellent!

[@billy1673]

Such a great version of such a great song!

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

Wonderful!

[@AyeGee721]

This goes well with the Wellerman history actually. Otakou (the original Maori name) now Otago is the region in the south island of NZ where the song originates, and where the Scottish settlers, with the local tribe used to go whaling around the southern shores.

[@jamescameron5520]

[@henryk8253]

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?

[@vatsal7640]

Scots are brits

[@anthonymorgan6255]

My Great, great uncle was a captain of a Whaler out of Timaru in the mid 19th century. I'm a proud Pakeha South Islander. Due to political correctness in my country the so called indigenous population, may find this challenging,we are not encouraged to enjoy our culture.(which apparently doesn't exist). Yet the world sings one of our songs. Go figure.

[@exterminatestudios1225]

Dont forget norwigians and danes

[@cole02022]

I did not no that

[@PandaMonium92827]

Or because they were immigrants? New Zealand was a pacific island nation when colonizers found it.

[@tanglediver]

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. ha!!! That made me day!
