[Verse 1] There once was a crew on an open sea And the wind blew wild and free The deck rolled slow and the mast stood tall And the tide had a hold on me The dusk came down with a lantern’s glow And the boards kept time below Left foot back and the right foot wide And the sea began to show [Hook] Ohhh...Shanty shuffle, left and right Rock with the roll of the night One...two...move with the tide Carry the ship with pride Shanty shuffle, heel then slide Sway as the waters glide One...two...strong and true Let the waves dance with you [Verse 2] The salt spray kissed and the ropes pulled tight Stars blinked sharp and bright The hull sang low in a wooden tone As we leaned into the night The fog rolled thin and the wind cut clean But the rhythm stayed between Back and forth as the lantern swung In a golden, steady sheen [Hook] Ohhh...Shanty shuffle, left and right Rock with the roll of the night One...two...move with the tide Carry the ship with pride Shanty shuffle, heel then slide Sway as the waters glide One...two...strong and true Let the waves dance too
