Not quite right
Some of the notes for the melody are wrong, and the harmonies can be awkward.

The Wellerman
A great number for my young brass pupils.I naturally wanted to find out the meaning of the word Wellerman, and as a New Zealander, I was astonished to learn that this was originally a New Zealand sea shanty from the 19th century, so full marks to Nathan Evans for bringing it to the world. However, the honour of being credited as the composer presumably belongs to that very well-known prolific musical genius Anon. Surely the published version could acknowledge the origins of this piece more fully?
