Tell your lady that the sea is your mistress
Tell your lady that the sea is your mistress
Tell your lady that the sea is your mistress
The sea, she is your home.
Tell your lady that you’ll see her ‘morrow
Tell your lady that you’ll see her ‘morrow
Tell your lady that you’ll see her ‘morrow
The sea, she is your home.
Hoist up the sails and take her sailing
Hoist up the sails and take her sailing
Hoist up the sails and take her sailing
The sea, she is your home.
Drink some rum and praise her glory
Drink some rum and praise her glory
Drink some rum and praise her glory
The sea, she is your home.
Land, ahoy! Sweet dusk is setting
Land, ahoy! Sweet dusk is setting
Land, ahoy! Sweet dusk is setting
The sea, she is your home.
Calls thy name; the sea, she calls you
Calls thy name; the sea, she calls you
Calls thy name; the sea, she calls you
The sea, she is your home.

Of course you’d make it look easy! XD I tried my hand at writing a sea shanty, and failed horribly. Some of us are made to listen to music rather than write it. Great job!
Thank you for reading & as always buona lettura

What a good idea! Writing a sea shanty to fit a sea shanty! I must have a go. Thanks for popping in to visit http://ja2da.com – not sure if the English was up to standard.

PS don’t forget I’m English so I don’t speak it as well as you Americans do
PPS where’s the OC?
OC is Orange County in California. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Ahh. Right! – Thanks for bringing an ignorant foreigner into the real world.

PS I forgot to mention that I loved some of your poems – though not all. When you get my age you can afford to be picky.
No problem at all! Different tastes are to be expected and appreciated. It’s what makes the world go ’round 😉
Love it!!!
