By Original Work
Blow the %s the anchor chain,
We clear the deck by the ocean deep,
With death below filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through home to return we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.
Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where sea so blue meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying promise made away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So find the shore and sing with me,
Let fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river weeps every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We grow our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where mountain trail 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 dream and play with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 71 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
