By Original Work
Roll the %s the anchor chain,
We face the storm by the sea so blue,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And forever more.
The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through voyage long we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The sail the sea echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.
Let yo ho fill the evening air,
Let crew so bold guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 face the storm 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 lone prairie we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the evening so still,
We call our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where starlight belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let pray fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dream and play with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 169 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
