Raise the Jar Tonight
(hey! hey!)
Down through the valley at the fall of night,
We heard the drums and saw the lantern light.
Gold in our pockets and the road ahead,
With a roaring song for the life we’ve led.
Hey!
Raise your voices high!
Hey!
Let the old bells cry!
Raise the jar tonight,
my friends, Sing until the daylight ends!
Through the storm and through the rain,
We’ll sail the wild old seas again!
Hey! Hey!
Hear our call!
One more round for one and all!
Raise the jar and sing with me— Tonight our hearts are wild
and free!
Over the mountain and across the foam,
Every distant harbor feels a little like home.
Fiddle keeps playing while the cold winds blow,
Where tomorrow
takes us, nobody knows!
Hey! Raise your voices high!
Hey! Let the old bells cry!
Raise the jar tonight,
my friends, Sing until the daylight ends!
Through the storm and through the rain,
We’ll sail the wild old seas again!
Hey! Hey! Hear our call!
One more round for one and all!
Raise the jar and sing with me— Tonight our hearts are wild
and free! Hey!
Hey!
Raise it high!
Sing our song beneath the sky!
Hey! Hey! One more time!
Raise the jar tonight!
