    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

    Удивительно то, что трек создан без музыки, от слова СОВСЕМ! Всё что использовалось, так жто ритмичный стук по гитаре. Может этот стук и надожили, но какая разница, вся суть в голосе и том, как он звучит, голос исполнителя на столько красиво свели, что тут и музыка ни какая не нужна. Незнаю, может там и 2 человека исполняло, что быдо-бы проще в исполнении, но не менее красиво, но вышло просто великолепно!

    There is something about several men harmonizing their voices perfectly that sends shivers down my spine. Adding a simple and constant beat to the chorus only amplified the awesome tone.

    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
    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-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
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing 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 (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
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    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 (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
    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 (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
    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

    "The song's lyrics describe a whaling ship called the "Billy o' Tea" and its hunt for a right whale. The song describes how the ship's crew hope for a "wellerman" (an employee of the Weller brothers, who owned ships that brought provisions to New Zealand whalers) to arrive and bring them supplies of luxuries, with the chorus stating "soon may the wellerman come, to bring us sugar and tea and rum." According to the song's listing on the website New Zealand Folk Song, "the workers at these bay-whaling stations (shore whalers) were not paid wages, they were paid in slops (ready made clothing), spirits and tobacco." In the whaling industry in 19th-century New Zealand, the Weller brothers owned ships that would sell provisions to whaling boats. The chorus continues with the crew singing of their hope that "one day when the tonguin' is done we'll take our leave and go". "Tonguing" in this context refers to the practice of cutting strips of whale blubber to render into oil. Subsequent verses detail the captain's determination to bring in the whale in question, even as time passes and multiple whaling boats are lost in the struggle. In the last verse, the narrator describes how the Billy o' Tea is still locked in an ongoing struggle with the whale, with the wellerman making a "regular call" to encourage the captain and crew."
    Note: This isn't my origianal words, its from another comment i just wanted to spread the information to inform others more on the context.

    • @roberthickman2907
      @roberthickman2907 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Technically you are correct for the later definition of tonguing, however the original definition of tonguing was processing the whale's tongue to get the blubber out.

      The lyrics are not that peaceful tho. It is about a crew of whale hunter, and the fight between them and the whale. Whether they are successful or not, they are too exhausted so they have to wait for another ship to “save” them, that’s where the “tea” part kick in. The song it’s playful because it supposes to cheer the crew up and give them hope that the safe team can find them, that’s why all they can do is to wait.
