Lyrics

  1. Hark to the night-winds that sigh
    Voices from over the ocean
    Out where the billows roll high
    There’s where I long to be
    Duty demands that I must go
    Farewell to thee, fond heart
    Grieve not for me for well we know
    Dearest of friends must part
    Dearest of friends must part

Refrain:
Out on the deep where the billows roll high
Fighting the waves as they mount to the sky
Sailors are we, happy and free
Guiding our ships at sea
Oft as we list to the storm petrel’s cry
Giving us warning that danger is nigh
Voices in prayer sound on the air
Out where the white-crested billows roll high
Out where the white-crested billows roll high
Out where the white-crested billows roll high

  1. Now as the dark shadows fall
    What is the wide world without you?
    Life is a boon after all
    Living away from you
    Henceforth we journey side by side
    Sweet is the thought to me
    Happy tonight, for we shall glide
    Out o’er the deep blue sea
    Out o’er the deep blue sea
