Its another day we go
Sailing o're the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you
A young man only seventeen
Adventure could'nt wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the boston state
I shipped out on a glouster smack
And fished the georges bank
The work was hard
And the wages fare
To the good lord i gave thanks
Although ive had a good life
As good as any man
If i could change the course of time
Id live in my home land
Chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since ive been gone
Oh how i long to see you
The time has been so long
If i could get just one more chance
To walk your rugged shore
Id train the life i chose to make
And go to sea no more
Last night as i lay dreaming
I sailed the raging foam
My ship she took me far away
To the rocky shores of home
And i could write a thousand lines
To say just how i feel
I hope and pray that some fine day
My dreams they can be real
Chorus: repeat 2 times
Id train the life i chose to make
And go to sea no more
