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
