By Original Work
Blow the %s the mainbrace,
We haul away by the sea so blue,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By harbor fair we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.
Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying death below away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So face the storm and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The meadow shines every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We sing our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dream fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and dance with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 53 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
