Home To The Sea
A lonely midshipman stands on the deck Strolling around every now'n'then with his checks Keeping watch in the night Watch the albatross flight Day da da dum day da dee dee My sailor goes home to the sea
As you sail to war to the beat of a drum Day da dum dee day da da dum I’ve made my oath and given my vow May you find peace for e'er now
And down in the wardroom you lieutenants we see Giving and taking orders you three Wandering your frigate Watching your men Day da dee dum day da dee dee My sailors go home to the sea
As you sail to war to the beat of a drum Day da dum dee day da da dum I’ve made my oath and given my vow May you find peace for e'er now
A captain stands there making his plan, Doing what only my officer can Leading a crew with the loyalist hearts Pray their home ne'er be torn apart Day da dee dum day da dee dee My sailor at home on the sea
As you sail to war to the beat of a drum Day da dum dee day da da dum I’ve made my oath and given my vow May you find peace for e'er now
And from the lowest ensign to the highest ranks Risking you live for adventure and thanks For god and for glory For women at shore leave Day da dee dum day da dee dee My sailors come home from the sea
As you sail to war to the beat of a drum Day da dum dee day da da dum I’ve made my oath and given my vow May you find peace for e'er now
We see you these sailors, good men and true Travelling cross this ocean so blue Finding adventure, love and despair Discovering lands and ladies so fair Day da dee dum day da dee dee My sailors go home to the sea
As you sail to war to the beat of a drum Day da dum dee day da da dum I’ve made my oath and given my vow May you find peace for e'er now
