TO SEA
A sea chanty telling of a sailor’s farewell to his land mistress to take up, yet again, with his true mistress, the Sea.
CHORUS:
To sea, to sea, my love I must leave
My heart hears the call of the winds that blow me
To sea, to sea, with sorrow I leave
For I shan’t have any peace till I go.
VERSE 1
The sailors remember the month of June when the skies are a-feather and bright.
With buttons a-plished and flowers in hand to in a fair lady’s delight
My love, let us dance, tug-of-war with romance, Let us sing a memory
For soon we are gone o’er the lonely waves
Every sailor returns to the sea
