Op accordeon

 

Even om de variaties te beluisteren, ook al is het dan op accordeon en net op trekharmonica. Evenzogoed prachtig.

The Wellerman

 

Zo leuk, The Wellerman. Daar gaan we eens even op studeren. 

The Wellerman

 

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 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 (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

 

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

But 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

 

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

Take our leave and go

Oversteek

Trekharmonica aan boord

Eindelijk maakte de trekzakrugzak weer eens de oversteek naar Holwerd. Via een Trekharmonica Facebookgroep zag ik een oproep van een speler voor samenspelen. In Leeuwarden nota bene, dus op die oproep heb ik meteen gereageerd. Dat werd een bijzonder leuke samenspeelsessie in hartje Leeuwarden en we hebben afgesproken dat we dit feestje herhalen. Hopelijk later meer hierover.
