Drifting Mornings Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the bowline tight,
We make ready by the homeward bound,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

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

Sailing Voyages Again
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the anchor chain,
We heave ho by the harbor fair,
With death below filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each to the winch shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

We heave ho by the captain's deck,
With home to return filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

With voyage long filling every heart,
