The original post referred to a song from Newfoundland. Not sure if this is the right one but it has the same title and is sung by the Newfoundland group, The Irish Descendants.
Go to Sea No More
Song by The Irish Descendants
It's another day we go
Sailing o'er the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you
A young man, only seventeen
Adventure couldn't wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the Boston states
I shipped out on a Gloucester smack
And fished the Georges bank
The work was hard
And the wages fair
To the good Lord I gave thanks
Although I've had a good life
As good as any man
If I could change the course of time
I'd live in my homeland
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've 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
I'd trade 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
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've 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
I'd trade the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've 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
I'd trade the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more
I'd trade the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more
