Down all along the gale where all this 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
Sounds of longing everywhere i make my way
Tales of never ending days
But 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
