Sailing on the Canal by Tim Barlow. Additional lyrics and music by Patrick Cull. This video was found on the established YouTube channel Flow with Mylo featuring Myles McDowell who filmed and edited it. The canal it called me from dusk 'til dawn With a gentle breeze blowing I continued to fawn I'd been chugging through locks where the canal waters lead With my narrowboat life fulfilling my dream Chorus: And it's heave ho Where the wild reeds grow Through the country canals far and wide I can go With a song in my heart and with my best pal With my hand on first gear And a boat full of beer And with a great ‘Cheer’ I'll go sailing on the canal Just sailing on the canal Just sailing on them canal From the big city churches to the villages so small Navigating levels that rise and fall With the moon on the water, with the fire outside We'll be singing our shanties with the stars as our guide Through locks and bridges with trees and hills This peaceful life, it gives me the thrills With the ship mates so loyal and a heart just set free We'll sail navvy waters just you and me When the day's nearly done, when the Sun starts to fade Moving from sunlight to dapples of shade Raising toasts to the life and the friends that we find Cruising the cut our worries far behind
