By Original Work
Roll the %s to the winch,
We clear the deck by the old ship,
With home to return filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The old ship winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through gold to earn we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The sail the sea echo far and wide,
Across the tropical isle they spread,
Where the rigging high once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.
Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 yo ho and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest sings every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the dawn so still,
We sing our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So shine and call with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 268 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
