Drifting Mast Above
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the mainsail clear,
We haul away by the old ship,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through land ahead we go,
Far from our childhood home.

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

Through storms to weather we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying home to return away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So roll and sway 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 valley dances every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the dawn so still,
We sway our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where canyon belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For river 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 weep and rest with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 192 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
