A Sea Shanty

When I was a young boy, no older than three,

I set my eyes to the Sea,

she said hold me and keep me through all of your years and my guidance with you it shall be!



I said a Hey- ho watch her go, sailing these seven seas

she told me,

bounty and prizes with you they shall be if you follow my golden rules



Ten more years later I grew to a lad, and my father confided to me,

The Sea she shall give you all that you need just heed her signs and pleas..



Lifting the sails and setting the mast,

our ship will sail with the fierce winds that pass,



Feel the cool sea breeze rest on our face,

quenching our thirst for our adventure in pace!



When I turned 20 I left for my love, to finally join her and be

The lovely sea maiden, my one whole true love, and the ship to help me leave



Round and about we went to far lands,

accompanied by mermaids and sirens and plans,



Finding our treasure and promises held,

we have amounted good stories goad.



Hey-ho just you know, this story never ends,

My life is bound by these blue waters and mast,

so that I shall never leave!
