I've sailed the whole world over, across the seven seas
I courted my sweetheart underneath the Kaori trees
I travelled with the north wind, up to the Bering Strait
Around the horn and home again; for that is the sailor's fate
same as verse 1)
Across the barren wasteland of the frozen Arctic sea
Through Polynesian breezes and southern storms sailed we
The wind all in the rigging sings a lonely lullaby
A sailor I have always been; a sailor I will die
Across the line, the Gulf Stream
Working your life away
Around the horn and home again
For that is the sailor's way
different)
We sailed up to the northward, we sailed up to the east
We reefed our sail in the strongest gale and stood in the calmest sea
Ocean bound by Dusky Sound and Pegasus through the strait
Port Cooper, ocean, Tom Kane Bay; for that is the sailor's fate
Across the line, the Gulf Stream
Working your life away
Around the horn and home again
Across the line, the Gulf Stream
Working your life away
Around the horn and home again
For that is the sailor's way
Enjoy!
