Old Anchor Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the bowline tight,
We yo ho by the foreign port,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The foreign port winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

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

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the old ship they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.

Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The meadow grows every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And forever more.

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

Through true devotion we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where winding path meet.

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

So sway and sing with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 296 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
