By Original Work
Haul %s the mainsail clear,
We make ready by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.
The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through voyage long we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where northern sea 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 face the storm 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 ocean sways every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We play our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where canyon belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and call with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 61 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
