[boomkittyFX]

[chazlon]

"soon may the wellerman come to bring us sugar and tea and rum" That specific part of the song you sing even better than that version with all those views. Great job

[maheralbittar]

So did the spark network in my country of New Zealand this shanty was to help the boys keep time with the raising and lowering of the main sails and to keep time when hauling

[celineloeffler]

You can even feel the history of this song by listening it ❤

[mate]

In typical 19th century fashion the worst deprivations of a whalers life at sea are as understated in the chorus as the harmony. A good song rooted in the history of the first years of New Zealand, It makes me wonder why hipsters and tik tok girls glommed onto it. I hope a few of them learn something from it too.

[NoobWardenSpammer]

Oh freakin G! That explains how I knew the lyrics before this song exploded in 2021-2022.,
My grandparents used to play this in pre 2000s., I just remembered it now after listening to this version

[nico-lasty]

[relixnova]

Finally the song it's been so long.

[nancydelu]

Love your version. Hawai'i girl remembers this version from the 1960s? Lahaina, baby Trans Pac.

[actualnoskill]

Edit: this reminds me if Moby Dick Story

[gaffartarraf]
