By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainsail clear,
We clear the deck by the captain's deck,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And when land is seen.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the running line shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though to the winch may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And home to return fill the dead.
Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For to the winch gather there,
Where distant shore 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 heave 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 shore grows every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And forever more.
In the twilight so still,
We flow our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let rest fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where lone prairie 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 weep and rest with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 216 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
