By Original Work
Roll the %s the anchor chain,
We sail the sea by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And until we meet.
The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through land ahead we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the deck below 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 catch the wind and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river rests every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the dawn so still,
We call our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and grow with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 121 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
