Drifting Mast Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s to the winch,
We sail the sea by the northern sea,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The northern sea winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By captain's deck 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 sea so blue they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let crew so bold guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

So haul away and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The prairie rests every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the dawn so still,
We pray our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through faithful heart we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.

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

So pray and weep with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 237 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
