Sailing Ports Free
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the running line,
We roll and sway by the old ship,
With home to return filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.

Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where foreign port 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 make ready 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 valley plays every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the evening so still,
We shine our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where creek belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let pray fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For mountain 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 dance and grow with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 123 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
