Old Oceans Late
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the running line,
We yo ho by the old ship,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And forever more.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through storms to weather we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where harbor fair 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 find the shore and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The river flows every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the twilight so still,
We grow our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where ocean belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let shine fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 weep and sway with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 6 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never dream apart,
And may our love still grow.
