Lyrics:

Down all along the gale
Where all these barks do sail
The sun was setting in the west
I took an eastbound trip
On a vacant sailing ship
And when I reached I can?t take no rest

Tunes of silence everywhere I make my way
Tales of never ending days
I won?t return these days
Won?t be back for many a day
My heart is down to make my way
The sailor?s life is hard but free
His home is on the rolling sea
And soon across the waters clear
Never heart more true or brave
Than he who launches on the wave
This gallant ship shall bravely steer
