Go To Sea No More Lyrics - So Far So Good: Best Of The Irish Descendants - The Irish Descendants

Its another day we go 

sailing o're the blue 

i look to the horizon 

my thoughts drift home to you 

a young man only seventeen 

adventure could'nt wait 

set sail from home on a fishing ship 

bound for the boston state 

i shipped out on a glouster smack 

and fished the georges bank 

the work was hard 

and the wages fare 

to the good lord i gave thanks 

although ive had a good life 

as good as any man 

if i could change the course of time 

id live in my home land 

chorus: 

My thoughts are always with you 

have you changed since ive been gone 

oh how i long to see you 

the time has been so long 

if i could get just one more chance 

to walk your rugged shore 

id train the life i chose to make 

and go to sea no more 

last night as i lay dreaming 

i sailed the raging foam 

my ship she took me far away 

to the rocky shores of home 

and i could write a thousand lines 

to say just how i feel 

i hope and pray that some fine day 

my dreams they can be real 

Chorus: repeat 2 times 

id train the life i chose to make 

and go to sea no more
