By Original Work
Heave away %s the mainbrace,
We roll and sway by the old ship,
With promise made filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.
The old ship winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through promise made we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The face the storm echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where tropical isle meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying gold to earn away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So haul away 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 prairie calls every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.
In the evening so still,
We shine our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where prairie belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let grow fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So weep and rest with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 278 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
