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

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

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
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

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 tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
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

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
We'll take our leave and go
We'll take our leave and go

You can tell good ol' Evans is a good ol' soul-see how his dancers were EXCITED and SMILING before he even came out? What a good soul with a lovely voice!

One of the kindest, most down to earth performers and super talented! Always love seeing you over in Germany!

[aprildegele]

Watched it again ... should have had Irish Dancers. Or Scot ones. Lose the flames and embrace the tradition! I mean, you're singing a traditional song, yes?!

[stardustmagic]

Most german tv shows are playback even if the artists want to sing live...but guys its not Nathans fault and he doesn't sing playback all time and he has proven that he is a wonderful live performancer many times before...so please stop insulting him for this...💙
This was a huge tv show, live on New Years Eve in Berlin with a lot of different international artists and therefore it's understandable that not every single person had the time and chance to rehearse their performance before the show started. Moreover it is difficult to sing everything live because of the equipment and so on...
It was also about good entertainment and creating a great party atmosphere...

It's okay that you have a differnt opinion than me, but it's not very kind of you to insult Nathan because of the technical circumstances...💙

(And by the way, if you had seen the interview afterwards, you would have known that he lost is suitcase and all his luggage at the airport and had to buy a completely new outfit for his performance that evening...that could perhaps be another reason why he came later and hadn't had time to rehearse...)

1:35 he lowers the mic and the vocals continue at the same volume. 100% lip-synced confirmed.

[hollyhunter]

Such a great performance, atmosphere was unbeatable ❤🎉

[IIIRikaIII]

I prefer the version without pop music beat. It isn't natural, it ruin his voice. Bah... Why don't perform the best shaty version?

[CCandSMUDGE]

Yet another example of how he manages to make any song sound good anywhere.

[CaptMorganify]

Come to the U.S. Wyoming would welcome you Nathen.🎉

[elodieh]

[Um_carinha]

Bro i like wallerman, this is a favority song ❤

[AnonymousXIII]

I still think you should track down some of the performers who added to your initial vid, and get some of them up on stage with you. A lot of them were pretty good. Kiffness put together a good timeline and compilation, though I know there are others.

[stardustmagic]

Here you can watch his full performance of the show on my channel!😊
I hope you enjoy it!💙

[Flcrackercowboy]
