The Pirate (Sea Shanty project I'm working on)

There was a dream, that I once had, though I was nothing, just a younger lad, When I grew big, life got rather small, Towards the ship’s mate, my fate would surely crawl way ho, way ho, Forever was a long time ago, Way ho, Way ho, We sail together, and they’ll never know I once saw girls, their necks all covered in pearls, I knew a man, but I never understood his plan, I’m Away to sea, to see what I may be, I’m Finding land, to put whiskey in my hand, way ho, way ho, Forever was a long time ago, Way Ho, Way Ho, We sail together, the sea’s our mighty show I felt her breasts, before treasure was in chests, I knew her well, there’s little else to tell, I’m for the star, the journey’s well so far, I’m getting near, there’s nothing that I fear, way ho, way ho Forever was a long time ago, Way Ho, Way Ho, We sail together, however the wind may blow
