Dawg) Yule Tide Shanty Penny Sidor (Canada) © 2008 (lightly tweaked) A toast to the skipper who stands without fear Tho the wind cuts his face and there's ice in his beard He stands firm at the wheel as he brings her around With an eye on the weather, he's homeward bound Let’s raise a glass as the old year do pass And raise a cheer for the incoming year As we sail on the Yule tide, me brave boys As we sail on the Yule tide A toast to the crew, those jolly brave men They won't stay home long ‘ fore they’re sailing again As soon as the sun lights up the dark days They'll pack up their gear and say anchors away CHORUS A toast to the women we love with a will With each year that passes, they grow fairer still A toast to the sun, the moon and the stars As they swing round the heavens, guiding jolly jack tars CHORUS And the verse addendum written by Mac Swackhammer And here's to our friends away or at home If they weren't around we'd be drinking alone We wish them good health and a glass of good beer In hope we will greet them throughout the New Year CHORUS |
