“Oh the wind leads us to the land of plenty”

“Charting full of grand prizes”

“Mighty battles on the waves”

“While the sea is home to many others, our home is the Harbor”


“This harbor brings us always home”

“When were lost the moon shines bright”

“She will always lead us to our home”

“The Moon over the Harbor”


“We are sailors and fishermen by heart”

“Nothing can keep us from home” 

“Not the mighty storm or shallow waters”

“The Moon over the Harbor “


“Our wives and children wait right there now” 

“On that dock, we live at”

“Bringing back a mighty score of fish”

“The Moon over the Harbor”


“Now We all don’t come back home”

“Some stay in the sea with us”

“But we all will be buried at sea” 

“Moon over our home”


“We all sit down and thank the man who gave us our home”

“Eward Mitchile built this land with only a paintbrush.”

“All the ships and docks that call this home”

“The Moon over the Harbor”


“That Moon over the Harbor”

Art by Edward Mitchell Bannister: Moon Over a Harbor 


Author’s note: I wrote this to be like a sea shanty and I took heavy inspiration from Assassin’s Creed Black Flag where the crew is singing a shanty. So I tried to do a fisherman sea shanty. This was mostly for background information.
