Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the anchor chain,
We yo ho by the sea so blue,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.

Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For to the winch gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.

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

So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The prairie rests every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We rest our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where forest belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though ocean may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where winding path meet.

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

So dream and flow with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 88 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
