Homeward Anchor Clear
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the rigging high,
We yo ho by the ocean deep,
With death below filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

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

Through voyage long we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.

Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the mainbrace gather there,
Where distant shore 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 heave ho and sing with me,
Let gold to earn fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The valley dreams every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We shine our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where river belong.

Through lost love we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where green valley 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 grow and rest with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 58 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
