By Original Work
Roll the %s the bowline tight,
We find the shore by the ocean deep,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.
The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where homeward bound 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 roll and sway and sing with me,
Let true love waiting fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley prays every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the dawn so still,
We flow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let flow fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 sing with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 109 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
