On the 3rd of April, 1933
Benjamin Button boarded the fifty-eight foot fishin' boat
The Salty Maid
As she set to sea
Off the southern coast of Cornwall
Headed out from the harbour
Castin’ off from the quay
On the wide open ocean, we roam
Where the only thing finer than goin' to sea
Is dreamin' of comin’ back home
But what is home?
The coast of old Cornwall
Is home this land at the edge of the sky?
Where wild winds storm in from the west
And the breakers roll in from the sеa
Or is home where thе hear longs to be?
We are sons of St. Piran
Of the salt and the spray
On the wide open ocean, we roam
Where the bond between brothers
Grows stronger each day
And my heart sings the song of my home
For home is much more than I knew it could be
You can't find it by map or by star
If home is the place where a man can be free
Then home is wherever we are
And haul away (Haul away, oh)
For the coast of old Cornwall
Heave away for our daughters and sons (Heave away for our sons)
And haul away for the ones that we loved
Even when we are oceans apart
Still I carry my home in my heart
Still I carry my home in my heart
