Old man walking on the old foot path
Old man walking with his first son
Oh son, my heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the salt sea
Oh son, my heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the salt sea.

The sun is steady as the sun, it will rise
Morning, the wind is in the willow
Oh son, the wind is in the willow
And the morning is steady as the sunrise
Oh son, the wind is in the willow
And the morning is steady as the sunrise.

My heart is on the ocean
My heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the sea.

The ship is sailing as the ships, they do sail
Over the blue and misty water
Oh son, your ship is in the harbor
And your bag is tugging at your shoulder
Oh son, your ship is in the harbor
And your bag is tugging at your shoulder.

The seagull is flying as seagulls do fly
Crossing, crossing over the ocean
Oh son, you're crossing over the ocean
And the seagull is flying as the bird flies
Oh son, you're crossing over the ocen
And the seagull is flying as the bird flies.

My heart is on the ocean
My heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the sea.

The sun is steady as the sun, it will rise
Farewell, farewell my first son
Oh son, my heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the salt sea
Oh son, my heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the salt sea.

My heart is on the ocean
My heart is on the ocean
My heart is on the ocean
And my eyes are burning from the sea.
