Sail On, Boys

"Find a girl and build a home, son"
So, my father said to me
But the winds, they bear me onward
And they call me to the sea

Not for me, the plough and furrow
Not for me, the feather bed
Not for me, the farmer's daughter
To the waves, my heart is wed

If it's down, it's down together
If it's up, it's up as one
So, sail on, boys, through stormy weather
Soon, the journey will be done

Lift your hearts to the horizon
Leave your fears upon the shore
This one life is for the living
And we ask for nothing more

If it's down, it's down together
If it's up, it's up as one
So sail on, boys, through stormy weather
Soon, the journey will be done
