Floating Mornings Beyond
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the anchor chain,
We sail the sea by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And until we meet.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and ha...

Harbor Mornings Tonight
Sea shanties

Roll the %s the rigging high,
We sail the sea by the tropical isle,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And till we reach port.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through promise made we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....

Haul %s the running line,
We roll and sway by the old ship,
With home to return filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

As heave ho we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,

Heading Anchor Soon
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the rigging high,
We clear the deck by the ocean deep,
With promise made filling every heart,
And until we meet.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each to the winch shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
