Trade Winds Blow, "Babette"'s shanty


Sailing into the night
-Trade winds, blow!
Headland sinks out of sight
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Sailing through the night,
-Trade winds, blow!
North Star, our windward light,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

A dark sea, moonless night,
-Trade winds, blow!
A million stars blazing bright,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Red sun, astern will rise,
-Trade winds, blow!
Warm wind, by her side,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Sailing through the day,
-Trade winds, blow!
Round the boat, dolphins play,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Plowing through the sea,
-Trade winds, blow!
Our little ship, you and me,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Leaping o'er the waves,
-Trade winds, blow!
Little boat, bold and brave,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!

Unknown lands beyond,
-Trade winds, blow!
Behind our wake is gone,
-Westward, ever westward, tradewinds, blow!
