Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the halyard fast,
We haul away by the ocean deep,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the bowline tight shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the mainbrace may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Voyage Shores Again
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s the halyard fast,
We sail the sea by the sea so blue,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each to the winch shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By foreign port we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Way %s the mainbrace,
We roll and sway by the northern sea,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through crew so bold we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....
