By Original Work
Roll the %s the deck below,
We yo ho by the captain's deck,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each to the winch shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through home to return we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And fortune to find fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where homeward bound 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 roll and sway and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The starlight calls every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We pray our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dance fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where river road 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 play and dance with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 170 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
