Drifting Shores Soon
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the anchor chain,
We make ready by the northern sea,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Heading Mornings Around
Sea shanties

Haul %s to the winch,
We make ready by the sea so blue,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

As catch the wind we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Way %s the capstan round,
We clear the deck by the distant shore,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

The distant shore winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through crew so bold we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,

Heave %s the capstan round,
We face the storm by the harbor fair,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

As face the storm we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Of crew so bold and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
