Today I learned that The Wellerman isn’t even a Real Shanty bc it’s not a Work Song
And it’s too SFW
And that’s ironically so funny bc I’ve been listening to pirate-y such songs as the Wellerman for YEARS before it trended on tiktok
It’s like… It’s just a bar song. The Wellerman is a Drinking Song. Like it belongs in the Hobbit soundtrack
