Sailors Farewell Hymn
Traditional:

It's our time to go now
Haul away your anchor
Haul your anchor
It's our sailing time
Get some sail upon her
Haul away your halyards
Haul away your hanyards
It's our sailing time
Get her on her course now
Haul away your fore sheet
haul away your fore sheet
It's our sailing time
Waves are rolling under
Haul away down channel
Haul away down channel
On the evening tide
When my days are over
Haul away for heaven
Haul away for heaven
God be by my side
It's our time to go now
Haul away your anchor
Haul away your anchor
It's our sailing time
The author of this website has put a lot of time and effort into gathering the greatest collection of sea shanties for the world to enjoy - There are songs that have been to sung to a job of work at sea for many, many years and collecting them has been a great endeavour. - Roger Chartier has made the effort out of his own interest and the requests that he has gotten to do this work from fellow musicians who wanted a good source of sea shanties to draw on and learn from. He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
