Lyrics
Roamin? on the High Seas
Peter Quentin copyright 2000
We?re bound to be sailin? when the morning she comes
And the shadows of evening have been put to run
And the wind is a? blowin the spray in my face
And we bury our anchor in some far off place
O? the chances I?ve taken
I?d take them again
A landlubber I never will be
It?s all for me shipmates and me shipmates for me
Roamin? on the high seas
Now all ye young sailors ye?d better beware
Many a dark eyed sea goddess is lurking out there
In the sleepy lagoons by the swaying palm trees
On the far away islands where the skies meets the seas
If the trade winds will take us
To Jamaica Bay
When the westerlies gather and blow
There?ll be pleasures aplenty for you laddio
Roamin on the high seas
O? The sun is a? burnin? the back of my neck
And in all the world there?s only us and the deck
So haul away laddies and one more we?ll sing
And over the waves our voices will ring
O? the sails beat a rhythm
The mizzenmast creaks
There?s nowhere that I?d rather be
Adventure?s a?callin? me and I must go
Roamin? on the high seas
