Old Seas Away
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s the deck below,
We face the storm by the ocean deep,
With home to return filling every heart,
And till day is done.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.

Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where northern sea meet.

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

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

The ocean weeps every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the dawn so still,
We pray our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where mountain belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 rest and call with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 151 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
