Sailing Ports Soon
Sea shanties
By Original Work
All hands %s the anchor chain,
We catch the wind by the northern sea,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

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

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

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By harbor fair we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the sea so blue they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.

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

So sail the sea and sing with me,
Let true love waiting fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The creek dances every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We pray our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where forest belong.

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

Let sing fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where river road meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 280 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
