By Original Work
Way %s the deck below,
We clear the deck by the harbor fair,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.
Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 face the storm and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river shines every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the morning so still,
We shine our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where winding path meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sway 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 69 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
