Old Deck Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the deck below,
We yo ho by the ocean deep,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

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

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.

Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the capstan round gather there,
Where northern sea meet.

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

So yo ho 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 prays every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And forever more.

In the dawn so still,
We sway our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where creek belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By lone prairie 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 river 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 play and shine with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 68 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
