It seems like sea shanties are taking the internet by storm, and Wellerman in particular is everywhere. I'm happy to present my own version of this very catchy tune.
I hope you enjoy it =)

THE WELLERMAN
Em
There once was a ship that put to sea
Am Em
And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
Em
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
B7 Em
O blow, my bully boys, blow
C G
Soon may the Wellerman come
Am Em
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
C G
One day, when the tonguin’ is done,
B7 Em
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
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
No line was cut, no whale was freed;
The Captain’s mind was not of greed,
But he belonged to the whaleman’s creed;
She took the ship in tow.
[chorus]
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.
[chorus]
As far as I know, 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.
[chorus] - เพลง
This is easily my favorite rendition of the song by a mile. No autotuning, no obnoxious instruments blaring, no weird pronunciations or straining of the lyrics. It's just a man, his voice, and his guitar. Nothing more to ask from a sea shanty.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed my version. Just voice and guitar can go a long way sometimes =)
Just saw this gentleman on another video "Wellerman: Who sang it best?"
Big fan now, amazing songs and amazing voice! Greetings from Austria
Thank you so much, Ulrich, I appreciate your comments =)
I hope you'll enjoy my future covers as well, and that things are going well in your awesome country (I hope I get to visit Austria someday when international traveling is possible again).

Hahaha, percebi que tem mais gente achando que você tá espionando nossas playlists. Galera temos que ficar de olhos abertos, esse cara tá se provando além de um incrível cantor e violonista, um ótimo hacker.
Mais uma vez, esplêndido! Cenário, voz, música, tudo perfeito. Manda muito!
Hahaha pura coincidência, eu prometo =P
Que ótimo que estou acertando na escolha das músicas então! Muito obrigado pelo apoio, John Paul.
Definitely the best version!

I wanted an instrumental version, whatever it's a masterpiece, there's no budget, just a beautiful background! Thank you tony stark.
Glad you liked it =)
Your going under my top 10 youtubers that need more attention .

Sir .. what I loved the most about your version is that you kept the spirit of the song in the song. You sang it like I can feel the wind blwoing in my sails. Respect ! .. simple and beautifully performed !
I'm very glad you enjoyed my version! Thank you. Sometimes a song with just voice and guitar can create a great atmosphere =D
@@GustavoSteiner keep up the good work bro
This verison of Wellerman is best.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D

Yours is the best Wellerman song I’ve listened to! Thanks very much:)
With so many covers out there, this is an even bigger compliment. Thank you so much!!! =D
I just had to revisit this song because I heard a version of it by some guys who took it into the top 40 of the UK charts. Your version is much better, so it should have gotten you into the top 10 of the UK charts 🙂
Thank you so much, Stefan! That makes me really happy, what an amazing compliment!
Funny how sea shanties are still going strong a year after Nathan Evan's tiktok went viral. They're great music, so it's well deserved =D
Отлично. Море за спиной, ветер на плечах, простенько и со вкусом.👏👍
Thank you very much, Andrej, I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D

Super super super!!!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it =D
@@GustavoSteiner Keep up the good work Sir! Cheers
Your covers are absolutely breathtaking! I didn’t think you could top Magister’s Fall and Fear Not This Night, but you just did. The video is also beautiful, and one can clearly see that a lot of effort and love was put into it. This cover is awesome!
This makes me so happy to hear, thank you so much, Armocalypsis! It certainly takes a lot longer to record these videos than the ones I started with in the beginning of this channel. I'm really thankful and appreciate your support, it keeps me going and makes it all worth it. Thanks a lot, and I hope you're doing great =D
Congratulations. Excellent song, excellent voice, excellent cover.
He is from Brazil.
Thank you so much, Ivan! So glad you enjoyed so many aspects of it. =D

This beach is in New Zealand! East coast of the South Island. There are so many beautiful landscapes around here, it's awesome!
This is just an amazing cover! Definitely will listen to this the next time I go to the beach!
Thank you so much, Rafael, I'm happy to hear that! Remember to also bring sugar, tea, and rum, and sing along. That would be the complete experience haha =P
Now that is a true pirate experience right there! I like it!
Very Nice music!🔥 Very Nice backround! I myself love fishing and swimming in the Sea.
Thank you very much, DitlevKanalen! Well, seems like you would be right at home singing some sea shanties while fishing, then =P
