Riding Evenings Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the bowline tight,
We haul away by the distant shore,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And forever more.

The distant shore winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart...

All hands %s to the winch,
We face the storm by the distant shore,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The distant shore winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand...

Through storms to weather we go,

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
