Sailing Ports Clear
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the rigging high,
We make ready by the homeward bound,
With promise made filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the rigging high may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....

Distant Shores Late
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the halyard fast,
We catch the wind by the tropical isle,
With death below filling every heart,
And till day is done.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and ha...

Homeward Evenings Beyond
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the running line,
We clear the deck by the old ship,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Splice the %s the mainsail clear,
We haul away by the distant shore,
With promise made filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
