By Original Work
All hands %s the deck below,
We yo ho by the foreign port,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The foreign port winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each to the winch shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through home to return we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the mainbrace once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where old ship 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 clear the deck and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley sings every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the twilight so still,
We weep our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where green valley meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So rest and call with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 87 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
