The Skizzleman

There once was a ship in Cherry Bay The captain’s name was GeminiTay The salmon flopped as if to say “Oh blow that goat horn, blow” (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Gem cast out her line from shore When down on her a bobber bore The captain called “Grian!” and swore She’d lay that scoundrel low (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Before Gem had hit the water The reaper’s fate came up and caught her She led her crew to Pearl’s and fought her ‘Till Pearl fell below (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

No line was cut, they did the deed The reapers’ rods were thusly freed They launched into the sky and squeed While others cheered below (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

For forty streams or even more The Hermit pranks came to the fore Exploding chests and traps galore With breaks for fishing flow (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on End crystals float and zombies spawn The Skizzleman makes his regular call To encourage the Hermits, Gem, and all (huh)

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the fishing is done We'll take our rods and go

Soon may the Skizzleman come To bring us sugar-sweet words and fun One day, when the mending book's won We'll take our rods and go

Fact 1: Tolkien often gives us the lyrics to songs characters sing, rarely the soundtrack.

Fact 2: Many of these songs, such as Sam's rendition of the end of the Second Age, are explicitly fragments of longer works.

Therefore:

Gil-Galad was an Elven-king Of him the harpers sadly sing The last whose realm was fair and free Between the mountains and sea (huh)

Soon may the mortal Men come When the time of the Elves is done One day, when the Enemy's gone We'll sail out West and go

You will never unhear it and I'm not sorry

To the tune of “The Wellerman”

There once was a man in a castle stayed

Who regretted every decision he’d made

Up to that point, been long delayed

Oh how the time did flow

(Chorus)

Soon may Jonathan run

Back to the place whence he had come

Found he had no way but one

To take his leave and go

Sent out to sell some real estate

To a count in the mountains, all said “wait,

It’s an evil day and an evil place”

But he said, “I must go.”

(Chorus)

Not two weeks in, he saw the fetters

Stuck here to die, and even better

The count said, “you should write some letters”

She would never know

(Chorus)

He knew his end was drawing near

He had to get away from here

Then suddenly it all came clear

None guarded his window

(Chorus)

He said “God take me if I fall”

Took off his boots and climbed the wall

And if you want to know anything else

You’ll have to read the rest yourself!

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

PEOPLE I NEED YOUR help

I've been looking for a video that i rb on here it was a tiktok, a cover for the wellerman but like a lesbian version, the same music but the lyrics were about a princess who fall in love with a commoner girl who was a thief

The singer was a blonde girl (very beautiful btw)

Did anyone have it??? Please?!

[airasora]

So there's this TikTok sound where someone used the melody from The Wellerman and made it a wlw story, you probably have heard it? 'There once was a lass sent out to sea, ordered by the king to stay away from me, a Princess should not fall in love with a commoner and a thief! So I'll sing the siren's song, in hopes one day she will come home, with more than her weight in gold, and take my father's throne!'

Every time I hear it the only thing my brain says is THAT ONE HOLLINA AU on repeat xD

I do know it and YES, I immediately thought of my Hollina Pirate & Princess AU as well xD

I only found out about "The Wellerman" a few days ago and yeah that's a real bop

#i dont have tiktok #the wellerman

[bangbangping]

The Wellerman may have been my first real introduction into shanties but now that I'm listening to them more I tend to find many covers of it in playlists and it's getting a liiiiiittle bit old.
