[Springster's Note: Some projects I made were for self-entertainment, but now, I've decided to publicly release some. This was before Peachcallie made her announcement, hence why the previous model is here.] (Click flag x2) Back in 2021, there was a song that I LOVED so much. And if you're an OG friend/fan, you'd know that song. Now, in 2024, I'm finally sharing my OFFICIAL cover of the beloved Sea Shanty!
Model by @SpringsterR-317 and @Peachcallie1fan Original Singers: The Longest Johns Nathan Evans Instrumental by The Wiggles Lyrics: There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh) 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 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 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) 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 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 [banjo and trumpet solo] 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 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) 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.
