Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She came in on the tide
With a grin and a torn blue coat
Salt on her fingertips
And a knot tied up in hope
She laughed at the storm line
Said, "It can't keep me down"
Boots on the deck boards
Like she owned the whole damn town
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold, hold tight
She won't drift away
Hold, hold tight
Hear the whole crew say
[Chorus]
She shanty, she shanty
All night, all night
She shanty, she shanty
Raise it up, all right
(hey, hey)
She shanty, she shanty
We sing her name
When the waves come high
She stays the same
[Verse 2]
She fixed the torn sail
With a needle and a hymn
Shared the last hard biscuit
Then she smiled right back at him
When the mast began shaking
She was first to the rail
Pointing through the gray foam
Like she knew we'd never fail
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold, hold tight
She won't drift away
Hold, hold tight
Hear the whole crew say
[Chorus]
She shanty, she shanty
All night, all night
She shanty, she shanty
Raise it up, all right
(hey, hey)
She shanty, she shanty
We sing her name
When the waves come high
She stays the same
[Bridge]
Oh, the dark rolled over
Oh, the rigging cried
She tapped her boot and smiled
Said, "Not tonight"
[Final Chorus]
She shanty, she shanty
All night, all night
She shanty, she shanty
Raise it up, all right
(hey, hey)
She shanty, she shanty
We sing her name
When the waves come high
She stays the same
