Heading Rigging Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the deck below,
We make ready by the foreign port,
With promise made filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The foreign port winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through home to return we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the rigging high once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.

Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true love waiting away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So roll and sway 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 ocean calls every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And forever more.

In the morning so still,
We pray our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let shine fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where green valley meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So pray and sing with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 57 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
