By Original Work
Heave %s the halyard fast,
We yo ho by the captain's deck,
With promise made filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through storms to weather we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where old ship meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying fortune to find away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make ready and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The mountain calls every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We weep our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sway and flow with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 59 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
