Jasper Sea - Sam Lee

Composed by：Sam Lee/James Keay

The sea was rough and the wind grew wild

A father he said to his only child

Through-fare my boy you go down below

Through-fare my boy we are sailing now

Fare fare is the ocean it knows your fear

Father by your right hand I'll steer

And merrily over the green waves we'll ride

We will ride together my father and I

We will ride together

My father and I

Mother will stand by the shore and pray

She'll watch for us dear father at the dawn of day

And when at last her prayers they are done

She'll be first to catch sight of our sails

In the morning sun

Up cried the father brief and stern

Tomorrow she'll see our boat return

And merrily over the green waves we'll ride

We will ride together my father and I

We will ride together

My father and I

Watching and waiting but never more

Will those gallant sailors return to shore

For the knotted black handkerchief lies on the sand

It was tied there by his parting hand

And all that of that sailor remains

Is the compass they never will use again

For now that we know on the Jasper sea

He will fly together his father and he

They will fly together his father and he

For now that we know

Hand I'll steer

And merrily over the green waves we'll ride

Learned from the singing of Jumbo Brightwell
