Ready for the first earworm of 2021? May we suggest a good ol’ fashioned Sea Shanty to accompany your rum in the dead of winter? Gotta love Nathan Evans who posted it on Tik Tok. It has taken on a life of it’s own.
A Sea Shanty is described as ” “a song with alternating solo and chorus, of a kind originally sung by sailors while performing physical labor together.” Crews would participate in a call-and-response-like chorus while out on the open seas that evolved into drinking songs and folklore as time passed.”
All about that life.
Sing a long… Here is the chorus.
“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”
“That’s What She Said”
“The Wellerman”
