"Wellerman" is a sea shanty from New Zealand which dates back to the early 19th century.

Back then, the term "Wellerman" was used for employees of the Weller Brothers? shipping company in Sydney, which supplied whaling stations around New Zealand with essential provisions (including sugar, tea, and rum, as mentioned in the song).

Here are the full lyrics to the traditional sea shanty "Wellerman":

There once was a ship that put to sea,
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down,
Blow, me bully boys, blow!

Chorus:
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.

Soon may the Wellerman come...

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 below.

Soon may the Wellerman come...

No line was cut, no whale was freed,
An' the captain's mind was not on greed!
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come...

For forty days or even more,
the line went slack then tight once more,
All boats were lost, there were only four
and still that whale did go.

Soon may the Wellerman come...

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!

Soon may the Wellerman come...

This is my easier arrangement of Leonard Cohen Hallelujah, written as a piano solo arrangement. Hallelujah Piano Solo Arrangement was so much fun writing! Originally by Leonard Cohen, this song is a classic! The piano solo arrangement of Hallelujah is perfect for the intermediate pianist wanting to learn a classic! In this piano solo arrangement of Hallelujah, the left hand has the most intensive parts. The right hand repeats most of the time, but there are some change ups in the left hand which can be a little difficult.

In practicing this piece, its important to separate hands first, and then bring the piece together. This will really make sure you know all of the parts of the piece. By putting in the time to do this, you will be able to play Hallelujah Piano Solo Arrangement in no time!

The arrangement took me a couple of hours over a day to write. I really enjoyed writing this arrangement and I look forward to creating a harder version of the song in the next coming days. I hope you enjoy my arrangement of Hallelujah for Piano Solo!
