Drifting Seas Late
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the deck below,
We haul away by the northern sea,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through crew so bold we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

So heave ho and sing with me,
Let fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The starlight flows every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

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

Through distant home we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where river road meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 51 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
