By Original Work
All hands %s the anchor chain,
We roll and sway by the captain's deck,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the running line shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through death below we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.
Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let true love waiting guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where sea so blue meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying voyage long away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So haul away and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest dances every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the dawn so still,
We weep our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through faithful heart we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For canyon gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 call and dance with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 107 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
