By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainsail clear,
We heave ho by the captain's deck,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the bowline tight gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying fortune to find away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho and sing with me,
Let voyage long fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The creek shines every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We sing our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For valley gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and dance with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 130 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
