Heave %s to the winch,
We haul away by the ocean deep,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And until we meet.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The sail the sea echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where sea so blue meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying land ahead away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sail the sea and sing with me,
Let voyage long fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river rests every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the evening so still,
We call our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So pray and shine with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 44 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
