Return Evenings Above
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the deck below,
We find the shore by the homeward bound,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

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

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to hear...

All hands %s the running line,
We find the shore by the foreign port,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

The foreign port winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through home to return we find our way,

Blow the %s the mainbrace,
We find the shore by the northern sea,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And till day is done.

Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

By captain's deck we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,

Splice the %s the deck below,
We heave ho by the old ship,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
