Sunday Sea Shanty : Life At Sea

Oh, life at sea can be a bore,
The skies are gray and the waves do roar.
We sail on through each endless day
With nothing but salt spray in our way.

Our bellies empty from lack of food
But we try to stay in good moods.
For it's either this or head for shore;
And neither option is really more.

We work hard hauling cargo and goods;
The sails creak as the rigging moves!
But when night comes around again,
It's time to sing those salty refrains!

We raise our voices in song and cheer,
To keep our spirits from sinking here.
Our hearts are warm with camaraderie;
It's all we have to comfort, you see!

We might not have a lot at sea,
But we stay together, bravely!
No matter how hard the journey is here;
We'll keep our spirits high and persevere!

🐬🐬🐬Donate to the Dolphin Project 🐬🐬🐬https://www.dolphinproject.com/donate/
Dolphin Project is a non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to the welfare and protection of dolphins worldwide. Founded by Richard (Ric) O’Barry on Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the organization aims to educate the public about captivity and, where feasible, retire and/or release captive dolphins.
The mission of Dolphin Project is to end dolphin exploitation and slaughter, as dolphins are routinely captured, harassed, slaughtered and sold into captivity around the world – all in the name of profit. Dolphin Project works not only to halt these slaughters, but also to rehabilitate captive dolphins for retirement and/or release, investigate and advocate for economic alternatives to dolphin slaughter, and to put a permanent end to dolphin captivity.

Port Sundries is not affiliated with Dolphin Project but supports their goal 100%.
