Go to Sea No More Lyrics

Its another day we go
Sailing o're the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you

a young man only seventeen
Adventure could'nt wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the boston state

I shipped out on a glouster smack
And fished the georges bank
The work was hard
And the wages fare
To the good lord I gave thanks

although I've had a good life
As good as any man
If I could change the course of time
Id live in my home land

chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've been gone
Oh how I long to see you
The time has been so long
If I could get just one more chance
To walk your rugged shore
Id train the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more

last night as I lay dreaming
I sailed the raging foam
My ship she took me far away
To the rocky shores of home

and I could write a thousand lines
To say just how I feel
I hope and pray that some fine day
My dreams they can be real

Chorus: repeat 2 times

id train the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more

Never Been There Before

Its another day we go 
Sailing o're the blue
I look to the horizon
My thoughts drift home to you

a young man only seventeen
Adventure could'nt wait
Set sail from home on a fishing ship
Bound for the boston state

I shipped out on a glouster smack
And fished the georges bank
The work was hard
And the wages fare
To the good lord I gave thanks

although I've had a good life
As good as any man
If I could change the course of time
Id live in my home land

chorus:
My thoughts are always with you
Have you changed since I've been gone
Oh how I long to see you
The time has been so long
If I could get just one more chance
To walk your rugged shore
Id train the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more

last night as I lay dreaming
I sailed the raging foam
My ship she took me far away
To the rocky shores of home

and I could write a thousand lines
To say just how I feel
I hope and pray that some fine day
My dreams they can be real

Chorus: repeat 2 times

id train the life I chose to make
And go to sea no more

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
